About
Do you step in too quickly to “help” your child? You might be holding them back. In episode 5, Allon Raiz and Charné De Gouveia explore how independence and initiative are forged, not born. Learn how to stop directing and start guiding, giving your child the space to think, decide, fail and try again.



From letting them forget their lunch (yes, really!) to asking better questions instead of handing out answers, this episode is packed with powerful insights on how to raise resourceful, self-starting kids. Because entrepreneurs don’t wait to be told what to do – they figure it out.
