Sit beside your child during homework, don't solve for him. Your presence = support, not completion.

A 60-minute weekly session that empties every open loop from your mind and resets your compass for next week.

Don't ask "be my mentor" — ask "20 min on specific decision" 6 times until relationship becomes natural.

After a deep talk, ask: "What do I need to ask that I haven't?" — a trust revealer.

Replace the rote "how are you" with "what was the best part of your week?".
