Michelle Obama does not believe the children of chandoning.
During the episode on Wednesday of her and her brother “Wednesday”Omit“Podcast, who presented the guests Damon and Marlon Wayans, the former First Lady spoke of her experience by raising her children.
Obama said that even if she was strict with her daughters, she thought it was important for them to make their own mistakes.
“And I think that nowadays, many parents try to live their children's lives for them so that they make no mistakes and feel no feeling of failure, which prevents them from learning,” Obama told his Cohost Craig Robinson and his two guests.
The author “becoming” also explained how she wanted her daughters to make good decisions, which means that she had to stop too brown.
“It's like, you know what, I have raised you to make sense, to have a judgment. And at some point, you have to practice this, which means that I have to let go,” said Obama.
She shares two girls, Malia and Sasha Obama, with her husband, the former American president Barack Obama.
She added that she had tried to give her children more rope before going to university.
“And I think the opposite happens now, it is that everyone is trying to keep their children. But one day, they will go out, and the only thing that is certain for children who come out in the world is that they will be affected by a certain failure,” said Obama.
To help children manage failure, she says that parents should start allowing them to make decisions from the start.
“Choosing Knucklehead's boyfriend and holding your tongue, and showing them that you trust them so that when they fail, they will come back,” she said.
Obama's comments come when more and more parents are thinking about how they raise their children.
In recent years, gentle parenthood has been a great trend, especially in parents of generation Y. This parental style crosses eyebrows on punitive methods while emphasizing the respect and understanding of children's emotions.
Likewise, permissive parenting implies not defining or applying many rules for children. Although this parental style can promote a stronger link between parents and their children, this can lead children to have problems with self -regulation.
In a personal trial for Business Insider, the child's psychologist Michele Borba wrote that parents can instill resilience to their children by letting them fail.
She wrote that a way would be for parents to stop trying to solve their children's problems.
“Instead, step back and subscribe to a new parental behavior:” Never do your child what your child can do for himself “,” wrote Borba.
An Obama representative did not immediately respond to a request for comments sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.
