Description

Many kids feel like they aren't good enough because they're under constant pressure to achieve more. The toxic achievement mindset leaves them feeling worthless and causes them to lack resilience.
Fortunately, journalist Jennifer Wallace has some solutions. After surveying thousands of parents, educators, and experts, she discovered how we can combat "toxic achievement culture" and teach kids resilience.
Some of the things she shares are:

Why it's important to normalize uncomfortable feelings like envy

What drives the "never enough mindset"

How the pressure to achieve is felt by parents

The most crucial aspects of building resilience

The biggest factor in building resilience that most parents lack

How to help your child develop intrinsic goals

How to help kids feel valued and why this is crucial to raising well-adjusted children who become healthy adults
