It's interesting that you mention parenting. I know that I, as a parent, try to lead my kid (4 yo) to solutions rather than provide solutions. IT. IS. SO. HARD. It's WAAAAAY easier to do things FOR him, to just TELL HIM, to just FIX HIM. But he needs to learn how to think for himself and learn etc. So I bite my tongue a lot. So... you're not the only parent trying not to give kid advice. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
