‘How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed’
Jessica Lahey – Episode 696

The trajectory of parenting today into overparenting is dangerous and worrisome
Propping up kids self confidence and telling them how wonderful they are has done children a serious disservice
Kids today are more anxious, less interested in taking risks, less interested in learning, and less interested in being brave.
Lots of kids today feel confident about their abilities – but don t at all feel competent. They don t have any experience trying and screwing things up and learning how to do things better.
Confidence doesn t go very far in the classroom.
There has been a big drop-off in interest in learning, motivation for learning, and self awareness – all because of the self esteem movement
Today – we live in a world of empty, optimistic confidence
