Will Your Children Grow Up to Be Strong or Will They Be Wimps? | Episode 507

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

Is your instinct to rescue your child actually holding them back? Dr. Roger Smith tackles the unpopular but essential task of raising "tough" kids in a world that often favors comfort. From a baby reaching for a distant toy during tummy time to a teenager facing the fear of public speaking, strength is built through the struggle—not by avoiding it. In this episode, learn how to distinguish between real danger and perceived fear, why "rescuing" your child from every difficulty breeds weakness, and how to model the courage and integrity needed to stand for something. Discover how to transform frightening moments into opportunities for bravery and character-building. Visit me at: https://rogersmithmd.com/ This has been a production of ThePodcastUpload.com
