Letting Go (A Little): The Power of Alone(ish) Time for Kids

Today, I decided to give my kids a bit more space than usual—just enough to let them explore, but not so much that I couldn’t peek in if needed. It’s always a balancing act, isn’t it? I watched from the next room as they navigated their own little world, solving problems, negotiating, and even arguing a bit. It was tough not to step in, but I realized how much they grow when I let them figure things out on their own. Sometimes, the best way to support our kids is to step back—just a little.
