I have a hard time drawing a line between teaching my kids important lessons vs. letting them learn it for themselves. I believe an important part of being a parent is to guide and educate your kids, however, I also realize they also need to make mistakes and do things on their own.

As they grow older, I am having a hard time determining when to step in and when to step back... any advice???

The same applies to the people you work with -- as they can definitely make or break a job!
