Don't Kill the Dream: Raising a "Can-Do" Child | Episode 456

from Parenting Matters Now with Dr. Roger Smith · host Dr. Roger Smith

Are you fanning the flames of your child's imagination or accidentally dousing them? Drawing inspiration from the founder of FedEx—who was told his business plan was impossible—Dr. Roger Smith warns parents against "thinking in obstacles." This episode features the classic poem "Can and Can't" to illustrate the power of perseverance. Learn why your children sometimes need to risk failure to find their mission and how you can be the voice that encourages them to "go for it" rather than the one who says it can't be done.
