How do I deal with this situation? How can I help&nbsp;him&nbsp;become more self-sufficient?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Rabbi Chaim Mintz responds<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is difficult to give a complete answer to this&nbsp;question, because&nbsp;the right approach depends on the circumstances of each situation. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identify the Root of the Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to consider is why the person is acting this way. This kind of behavior is not normal. Most people want to be independent and&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;want to feel like a <em>nebach<\/em>, a pitiful person who cannot manage on&nbsp;his&nbsp;own. So, if someone does behave this way, there&nbsp;must be&nbsp;a reason. It might be&nbsp;a&nbsp;lack&nbsp;of&nbsp;confidence in&nbsp;his&nbsp;abilities, or he might have been spoiled in&nbsp;his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/raising-jewish-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">upbringing<\/a> and never learned how to take care of things.&nbsp;Identifying&nbsp;the root of the problem is&nbsp;essential, because&nbsp;your response should be tailored to address it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Your Relationship?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another consideration is your relationship with the person. The way you address this issue will be&nbsp;very different&nbsp;if it is your child, a relative, or a friend.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical Strategies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are some strategies that can help in any situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Encourage Independence<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>You can start by explaining to&nbsp;him&nbsp;the value of being independent and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/hashem-needs-every-yid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-sufficient<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Him Involved<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, try to&nbsp;gradually&nbsp;involve&nbsp;him&nbsp;in taking care of his own needs. You could begin by having&nbsp;him&nbsp;join you when you are doing things for&nbsp;him. Get&nbsp;him&nbsp;to \u201chelp you help&nbsp;him.\u201d For example, if you are going to the store for&nbsp;him, instead of having&nbsp;him&nbsp;sit on the couch while you handle everything, invite&nbsp;him&nbsp;to come with you, and shop together.&nbsp;He&nbsp;does&nbsp;not have to&nbsp;complete&nbsp;entire&nbsp;tasks&nbsp;on his own&nbsp;yet, but he should at least be actively involved in addressing&nbsp;his&nbsp;own needs.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlight His Strengths<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, whenever&nbsp;he&nbsp;does&nbsp;take action&nbsp;on&nbsp;his&nbsp;own, make a point to notice and compliment&nbsp;him. This is especially important if he lacks&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/jewish-resources\/parshat-vayakhel-rising-to-the-challenge-the-key-to-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">confidence in&nbsp;his&nbsp;abilities<\/a>. Highlight&nbsp;his&nbsp;strengths and tell&nbsp;him&nbsp;when he does&nbsp;something well. Recognizing&nbsp;his&nbsp;successes in this way can give&nbsp;him&nbsp;the confidence to try new things independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Short <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To fully address this, you need to understand the cause of\u00a0his\u00a0behavior and consider your relationship with\u00a0him. In general, a good first step is to have\u00a0him\u00a0join you when you help\u00a0him,\u00a0and to compliment and encourage\u00a0him\u00a0whenever he does\u00a0something well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter tm-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/sign-up.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about the Torah approach to personal relationships with a study partner.
