but will raise more resilient kids.

Our children are human beings.

Consequently, they're going to fail at stuff.

Now, consistent failure in some endeavor will tend to harm a kid's self-confidence.

That gets a DUH.

Parents should ensure that does not happen by don't place your kids in situations that don't match their

abilities and preferences and mildly potential. But protecting your kid, sheltering them from failure

is harmful.

Your child can either believe he or she is perfect,

which is phony self-esteem, which will get them into a lot of trouble as they grow older,

or feel confident that failing is not the end of all things.

So the parenting choice that feels cruel but raises more resilient kids,

allow your children to fail. Kids learn by trial and error.

Most babies try to get up, they walk, they fall down, they stumble, they fall, they try again, they'll keep trying eventually, they learn to walk and run. And they're so happy when they finally get it

right. Yay. Yay. Let them have that experience of yay. I finally did it. Yay. Failure. Very crucial part of growth and development. Why? Kids learn. It's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them and try it again in some different way.

If we constantly step in to prevent our kids from struggling, they fear failure. They avoid risks, which means they can't navigate life's challenges on their own, so they end up living in your basement.

It's actually important for kids' development.
