#58 Why I'm Happy When Bad Things Happen To My Kids

Hi, Fam!

Show Notes

When something bad happens to my kids — a fight with a friend, a missed goal, a tough day — I don't rush to fix it. I'm actually… a little happy. 😬

Because this is where resilience is built. In the low-stakes moments of childhood, our kids get to practice what life will demand later: courage, recovery, and perspective.

This episode explores the idea of antifragility — the mindset that what doesn't kill us (or our kids) can truly make us stronger. When we stop over-protecting and start coaching, we raise children who can handle life with confidence. If you've ever wondered how to toughen your kids without hardening them — this one's for you.
