<p>Kamera, I was just thinking about how when my kids push back, then I know it’s time to stop interfering. When they are college age, even upper high school–they tell me when it’s enough, and I try to listen. Treating an older child with respect comes easily if the child respectfully speaks out about his or her boundaries. It doesn’t always come out sounding completely respectful every time, but none of us is perfect, kids or parents!</p>
