ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In Episode 2 of the Parenting Upstream podcast, “Rethinking Resilience,” we explore how allowing children and youth to work through challenges — instead of rushing in to fix things — helps them learn, grow, and truly develop resilience. When kids have space to feel frustration, weigh options, and problem-solve, they build real self-confidence and coping skills.
We also talk about snowplow parenting — clearing every obstacle from a child’s path — and why, even with the best intentions, it can prevent kids from gaining the vital life lessons they’ll need to navigate the world as they grow.
