Raising Resilient and Confident Kids in the Age of Achievement Culture

How can we use curiosity to tune into how our kids are doing and help them thrive in a modern culture focused on achievement?

As parents and caregivers, it can be easy to get sucked into thinking that our kids need to be striving and pursuing excellence every step of the way. How can we remind ourselves and our children that success is not linear, and that learning how to deal with failure is just as (or more) important for the long-term health and well-being of our kids? Whether in sports, academics, extracurricular, or social settings - how can we show up for our kids in a way that reminds them of their worth, encourages them to trust themselves, and builds emotional resilience?
