There was a lot of just kind of mentality of you're fine.

Keep going.

And swung to the opposite direction.

We talk about how every correction is often an overcorrection.

And so the overcorrection would be, I want to hear everything you're saying all the time.

And not pushing you out in the world.

So too much of this, you're fine and not paying attention is not helpful.

Too much of not pushing you out in the world is not helpful.

And that healthy middle ground of, as Sissy talked about, support and challenge of where we want to move kids out into the world.

Well, I think it starts with the acknowledgement that allowing the kids we love to struggle is one of the greatest tasks of parenting.

Like it's not intuitive.

And hardest.

No, absolutely.

No one wants to do it.

I don't enjoy watching my kids go through hard things.

And yet remembering, if we think back to all of our own stories, that we grew the most in the hard seasons.

And the same will be true for the kids we love.

We have a definition in the book that is capable kids have practiced coping and learned competence for life's challenges.

In all seasons, we want to invite parents to be thinking about where is an arena or a context where your kids gets to practice coping.

And that means they've got to struggle through something hard.
