You listen. You encourage. You try to help them find their way—even when you’re still figuring out your own next step.
You don’t need another reminder to do more. You need ways to support their growing independence, hold healthy boundaries, and give them room to try.
You can help them build confidence while you’re building your own.

The CO-PILOT Parenting Model
They are the Pilot. You are the Co-Pilot: a guide and source of support as they learn to make decisions and take responsibility.
That means setting age-appropriate boundaries, making room for practice, and stepping in when safety is at stake. As young adults, they also need their independence and adult decisions respected.
Confidence is a skill they can build. You can help them practice.

DW’s upcoming book explores the same challenge: how to guide your teen or young adult while giving them room to grow. With humor, real talk, and practical tools for everyday confidence conversations.
