Parenting is a tough gig. We love and adore our children and, yet, there are so many aspects of their lives over which we don’t have control.  Our instinct is to want to protect them from the impacts of failures and their bad choices -- all while keeping them physically and mentally and healthy. We intellectually know that protecting our children too much isn’t good for them, either. So, how do we navigate these conflicting imperatives?
Two of the best books I have recently enjoyed on parenting come from the brilliant woman interviewed in this episode. Jessica Lahey (https://www.jessicalahey.com/) is the author of The Addiction Inoculation and the Gift of Failure.  The New York Times Book Review, Publisher’s Weekly and many well-regarded thought leaders hold her work in the highest regard and for good reason: she has identified and provided user-friendly solutions for much of what challenges modern children and parents daily.
So, listen in as Jess unpacks the parenting tips everyone needs!
