5 SIMPLE RULES FOR PARENTS:
How to raise gritty, resilient, and passionate
people
Description: Today’s parents hear more, see more, know more, and are more involved in their children's lives than ever before. Technology has made it easier than ever for parents to track, manage, and solve their kid's problems. As a result, many students miss out on having the opportunity to acquire the life skills needed to overcome adversity, navigate change, and get comfortable with the uncomfortable. A record number of students report feeling anxious, impatient, and unable to cope. They graduate from high school without the grit, resilience, and ability to navigate the challenges awaiting them in college and beyond. This was especially clear during COVID. Students need help learning how to manage discomfort and be the creators of their own joy. Parents want to help, but they don't always know the best way to help.
Can fixing what’s broken today make it harder for my child to fix what’s broken tomorrow? Am I preparing my child to handle the social, emotional, physical, financial, and academic transition that is part of life in college, and beyond? How can I help my child dream big, believe in themeselves, and create joy during a time of dramatic change? These are some of the questions 5 Simple Rules For Parents answers.
