Parenting as a leader means developing the leader in you and overcoming your own worries about your child’s future to empower them to  to learn and grow through challenges. As a child becomes a teenager, it is natural and important for them to try things on their own, if parents are too involved, it's difficult for the child to develop decision making skills, independence and/or find their own interests and passions. The risk is a young girl disempowered by going into early adult years doing and being what others say she "should" be, and not finding their stride early on to be who they want to be.
