Episode #44 - 3 Good Reasons Why You Should Let Your Children Fail

Send us Fan MailThis episode is all about why allowing your children to fail is an important part of their development. I want to stress this not about taking risks or not keeping them safe.  It is about allowing them take personal responsibility for their lives. Being a parent is probably the hardest job you will ever have and it is natural to not want to see your children upset or hurt.However, continually stepping in and removing the challenges and protecting them from failure is depriving them of vital experience and the opportunity to develop skills and resilience for their adult life.Link to Jessica Lahey's book - "The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed" - https://amzn.to/3oRYUsQSupport the show☕ Enjoying the show? Buy me a coffee.
