Dear @goodybest, your post is full of extremely important information for parents. Micromanaging the children ultimately makes them incapable of coping with the numerous challenges that life keeps throwing on their way as they grow up. The resilience of children can be build up if children learn to play with parents and peers as that gives them enough space to find out various ways to solve problems on their own. Many parents do not understand this and messes up the child's learning process. I am glad your children have got such a wonderful mama like you who understands the necessity of play time and communication skill. It is really wonderful that they are growing up well and are becoming intelligent human beings. Best of luck to your kids.
