The Gift of Failure

Event Description:

We want our children to become resilient and independent. But when they forget an assignment, struggle through a difficult task, or face the consequences of a mistake, our instinct is often to step in and make it better.

Every time we rescue them, we may be weakening the very resilience we want them to build.

Join New York Times bestselling author and former educator Jessica Lahey for a practical conversation about one of parenting’s hardest challenges: knowing when to help and when to let go.

This event is intended for parents and caregivers of children in grades K–12.
