The Educational Renaissance Podcast Resilience in a Coddling Society
Welcome to the Educational Renaissance podcast, where we promote a rebirth of ancient wisdom for the modern era. We seek to inspire educators by fusing the best of modern research with the insights of the great philosophers of education. Join us in the great conversation and share with a friend or colleague to keep the renaissance spreading.
In today's episode, Kolby takes wisdom from a recent book he read, The Coddling of the American Mind, by Lukianoff and Haidt, and challenges us as parents and educations on how to overcome the three great untruths of our society today: what doesn't kill you, makes you weaker, always trust your feelings, and life is a battle of us versus them. Kolby finds passages in the Bible that strengthen the argument that we need to train our children to be challenged in order to become resilient.
