Dear Queenie,
My son is entering the same profession as mine and sometimes he cones to me for advice. A colleague says I should not be helping him because he has to learn to stand on his own two feet.
Queenie, it’s not like I tell him what to do, I just try to lead him into figuring things out for himself. Am I doing something wrong?—Proud father
Dear Father,
It is normal for people who are just entering a profession to consult with experts. In this case the expert is a close relative, which makes things a bit tricky. Just make sure you are not feeding your son the answers to his questions/problems rather than pointing the way toward finding them for himself.
