Program Description: Learning to Let Go So Your Child Can Succeed
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.
You’ll Learn How To:
Let Go: Know when to help and when to give your child room to work through a challenge.
Let Them Struggle: Allow mistakes and frustration to become opportunities for learning.
Watch Them Grow: Build the resilience, motivation, and confidence to do hard things.
Speaker:Jessica Lahey is the New York Times bestselling author of The Gift of Failure and The Addiction Inoculation. A former educator and mother, she has written extensively about parenting, education, and child welfare for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Atlantic.
