Now that my kids have moved into their school years, my job as a parent feels like there is so much more on the line.

Gone are the days when feeding them, changing them, and making sure they don’t run out into the street were my top priorities. Now many of our conversations are about dealing with the challenges of learning and how to handle getting something wrong; navigating the ups and downs of friendships; and how to ride through the messy process of figuring out who you are and who you want to be.

And because in addition to being dad to my own two kids, I’m also the pediatrician to hundreds of young children and the coach for both of my kids’ soccer teams, I have quite a few children under my wing.

I’ll admit—I feel a little pressure to make sure that I say and do the right things as I try to guide all of these kids to be successful in whatever they strive to accomplish.

So I’ve explored how to create a foundation for success for these many kids in my life. And in this episode, I share with you a framework for parents, teachers, and coaches to use when talking to kids about success and helping to guide them on their way!
