How Great Adults Let Kids Fail, and You Can Too!

With all the pressure on parents and educators to make kids happy, and see them succeed, it feels impossible to allow our kids to learn the hard life lessons. Dr. G will address this topic head on, making the case that kids and teens need failure in order to learn the ingredients of happiness: confidence, competence and strong relationship skills. She will empower adults to take a step back and allow failure, and foster effective decision making about the rare times we must step in to protect kids. Dr. G will give strategies to handle a young person's failure in order to build the skills they need to find their path to success.
