Giving advice beats asking for it:
Going to someone for guidance keeps you in a passive frame of mind and makes you feel dependent on others. Find someone with a similar challenge and give them advice instead. In research by Lauren Eskris-Winkler and colleagues, people randomly assigned to give advice ended up more motivated and more confident.
Part of feeling you matter is feeling you have something to contribute.
Ask your kid for advice on a challenge you're facing. When they hit the same one, they'll believe they can figure it out.
