Allowing our children to make mistakes and even fail, is very beneficial to their growth and development. While our parental instinct is to immediately jump in and fix everything for our children, tough situations provide learning experiences that will give them the confidence and resilience to approach any challenge in life.

One of the key ways we can help our children grow in life is to let them fail. While it can be difficult as a parent to see your children struggle, we know we won’t always be by their side to help when things get tough. Developing a child’s resilience can help them prepare to tackle future challenges. We want them to have the confidence to handle anything life throws their way. 

Join Rachel and Claire as they discuss why it’s important to let your children experience failure and strategies to help them build a growth mindset that will last them for life.
