When our kid has a misstep, rebellion, or mistake, it can feel like we as parents have failed them. Similar to muscle growth, our kids need to tear and repair along their life journey to become more emotionally strong and resilient. in this repeat episode with Michelle Icard, author of 8 Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success: What to Do and What to Say to Turn “Failures’ into Character-Building Moments, we learn how to reframe our expectations and help our kids prepare to launch in to the real world confidently. Michelle has worked with parents, children, and teachers for more than 20 years, creating curriculum, books, and programs that help them better understand and navigate early adolescence.
