When he was a baby you carried him. When he learned to walk he fell, a lot, but you didn’t keep carrying him every where just because he fell. Walking leads to biking and swimming and he will get hurt as he moves through life.

He has to figure it all out. In the most important way, his faith, he holds on, though life can challenge that too.

Your job was to nurture him and send him into the world, not to clone a version of yourselves. As others have said, give him a chance to fail or find his way and always ask our Lord, Jesus for His strength.
