Teaching Resilience and Perspective

It's important for parents to allow their kids to face challenges and be negatively affected at times in a hyper-competitive world. By recognizing the distinction between 'your kids' and 'our kids,' parents can instill values of collectivism and empathy. Teaching resilience and emphasizing that obstacles can be opportunities helps children develop character and understand their obligations as human beings.
