Tough love tactics like kicking kids out backfire because fear paralyzes decision-making. An empathy-based approach that makes young adults feel seen and heard actually fosters growth and better choices.

So here's my hot take, and I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate for this, but I don't believe that tough loving your young adult is the way to go. I don't believe that you should kick them out. I don't believe that you should let them struggle. What I believe is that when you do that, you're shaming them. You're not teaching them responsibility. You're putting them into a state of fear paralysis. And if you've ever been in a state of fear paralysis, you know, you don't make the greatest decisions at that point. You really don't. So I recommend making them feel seen and heard. And the reason why I believe that is because when people feel seen and heard, they grow. I'll say that again. When people feel seen and heard, they grow. When they feel like their struggle is acknowledged, then they make better decisions. Then they grow. Kicking them out is not going to do it. So again, gonna get a lot of hate for this, but let me know what you think in the comments.
