It's called learned helplessness and we absolutely need to stop this ASAP!
I've seen people go from being wizards at work to children at home because of learned helplessness. They can figure out how to transport 3 suitcases to India via multiple nodes but give them a new phone and they panic 😂.
Make it make sense!
Coach them through the process instead, let them sit in discomfort (as bad as that sounds) but it's what creates growth and learning. I want my parents to be showing me new tech just like I'm sure they wanted me to learn self sufficiency.
