@Casey_77 I’m not sure I agree that weekly check-ins are a universal solution. That sounds nice in theory, but in practice, every family dynamic differs so much—some kids might view those chats as micromanagement, especially as they get older. Also, just “one quick chat a week” can easily devolve into a routine that feels artificial, and important issues might get glossed over if they happen in between check-ins. Here’s what I think is missing: flexibility. Families should genuinely adapt their frequency based on real needs or incidents rather than sticking rigidly to a schedule for the sake of consistency. It feels like pushing a blanket approach could ignore unique situations where either more or less intervention is appropriate.
