Are we raising soft kids? In Episode 3 of our TEENAGERS series, therapists Sissy Goff and Niro Feliciano are back, along with my husband John, to call out the rescue culture that’s stripping our teens of their grit.
We dive deep into why failure is essential for building resilience—and how stepping in too soon tells our kids they’re not capable.
You’ll learn:
➡️ Why kids need to struggle
➡️ How failure builds grit
➡️ What it looks like to parent with empathy without stepping in to fix everything.
If you want to raise strong, confident teens who can handle life’s hard knocks, this episode is a must-listen.
