I think it is important to understand each kid is different, that they have different things they respond to, different dreams, different strengths.

I try to engage my kids around that, and try to encourage them in their strengths, help them through their weaknesses.

I also try to give advice when they are flustered. Listen to them when they are excited. Help them hash through their passion projects (my 3 kids have very different desires: so one is building games and I give him game / coding feedback, one is writing a book and I help him w/ his worldbuilding and story beats, one is working on internet influencing so I brainstorm and assist with technical issues).
