CHAPTER

Fostering Resilience and Independence in Children

This chapter discusses the importance of avoiding over-treating kids with therapy and excessive focus on feelings, instead emphasizing the need for parents to encourage independence and resilience. It addresses how parents can navigate conflicting messages between home and school on teaching children about agency and responsibility. The chapter also examines the challenges faced by teachers in schools due to the influence of mental health professionals and the potential consequences of delaying young individuals from fully transitioning into adulthood by treating them as mental patients.
