Beware of breaking a loved one's spirit. Your friend may be impractical or undisciplined, but constant criticism will not help the situation. Do your best to praise their strengths. When they have setbacks, maintain a dignified silence. Instead of running to their rescue, let them find a solution to their problems. By demonstrating faith in their abilities, they'll rise to a level of maturity you didn't think was possible. The key is to break your cycle of dependency.
