My husband and I are firm believers in letting our kids make their own decisions (within reason) with very minimal interference from us. Of course, we're always available to help in the decision-making process if our help is wanted. One of our daughters has been mulling over a decision for the past several weeks, and I have a very strong opinion as to which way I wanted her to go. It took enormous will power, but I did my best to keep my opinion to myself. Imagine my delight when she told me she had decided on the option that I favored. I really love that they have strong decision-making skills. Those skills will definitely serve them well in life.
