Building Powerful Kids - Proactively Parent

Sometimes we take things for granted. Have been very quiet and practically forgotten that I even had an account here. I'm glad I chanced on you post and I thank you @breakthrough for putting this down and making me realize that the things that are precious to us should never be taken for granted.

My daughter is 21 and I know she has issues struggling into the adult world and wanting very little help from us. Her constant litany of "Let me make my own mistakes so I can learn from it" constantly grates on my nerves as it conflicts my philosophy of "Why keep repeating known mistakes when you can avoid it" or even "Learn from other people's mistakes".

Thanks to you, I shall be more patient with her this 2018. Thank you.

thats awesome! patience is major key no doubt - I will pray that your daughter is able to both embrace with humility life lessons from her own experience as well as open up to channels of relationship with you - that she can learn from your own life experiences as well - thanks for reading!
