What is the difference? Where do you draw the line? Are you there every time they are feeling down or sad or you let them handle their own emotions sometimes?
Re: making your kids emotionally secure and making them emotionally weak
I try to be there… I think my daughter’s too young to know how to handle her emotions, so I try to guide her and teach her to differentiate big issues from little ones (at this age though, everything is a big issue to them) and what would be an appropriate response… don’t know if I’m doing it the right way though 
Re: making your kids emotionally secure and making them emotionally weak
I feel myslef in the same boat MIA. Younger one is a drama over all, but the older one is truning into a young woman and I see it as a very sensitive phase of her life. I know that her mom is there for her but I also want to make sure that she can rely on her dad 100% when she is feeling down. I dont want to over do it for her but I just cant help myself. I think that I am emotionally a weaker person than her when it comes to handling her emotions.

With time you will get over it or she will .

It varies with each child because every child had there own personality but you have to guage how much your child needs your help.
It is very important for a dad to take part in emotional well being of little girls. My hubby talks to our older one who seems emotionally very strong but isn't at some times. I talk to her but having her dad hold her hand has a different impact on her.
