Meet Erin: Why Parents Should "Stop Doing That"

In this episode, Duncan Gill is joined by Erin White, therapist, former educator, and parenting group leader at Direction Behavioral Health. Together they explore a surprisingly simple message for many parents: sometimes the best thing you can do is stop doing so much.
Erin discusses how well-intentioned adults often over-help, over-direct, and over-protect children in ways that unintentionally undermine confidence, resilience, and independence. Drawing on years of experience working with adolescents and families, she explains why growth often requires discomfort, why children need opportunities to struggle, and how parents can learn when to step back.
The conversation explores the balance between support and interference, and why one of the most powerful parenting interventions may simply be knowing when to stop doing that.
