121 — Empowering Kids to Thrive with Dr. Michele Borba

There's a lot of pressure to ensure that we're helping kids have everything they need to become successful adults. But it's easy to overdo it and give them more help than they need, which prevents them from learning necessary life skills. Dr. Michele Borba, a psychologist and parenting expert, has researched what kids need to thrive in life. She has written a new book called Thrivers. Some of the things she shares today are what separates resilient kids from everyone else, the two things kids need most, and the parenting strategies that foster life skills.
