it means that you do things for someone that allows them to keep acting in an inappropriate way.
for an example, a parent who gives their child money when they know the kid is using it to get drugs.

To "turn on" When you put your phone from silent to ring, you are "enabling" the ringer. In social terms, to enable someone, means to allow them to continue a behavior. If your partner is a drug addict, and every time they go on a binge, you call in their work for them and lie so they don't get fired, then you are an enabler, as you are enabling their behavior, whereas, if you were to let them get fired for their own good you wouldn't be enabling their behavior.
