My guest this week is Heidi Stevens, a columnist at the Chicago Tribune.

Heidi is the author of “Balancing Act,” a column that comes out five times a week and explores a wide variety of issues with a focus on how we can balance all the things that make us who we are. She wrote a column a few weeks ago that caught my eye. The headline was: Are we setting our kids up to do the one thing we haven't taught them to do well: Fail?

She is a parent of three herself and we had a great conversation about what kids face these days how we as parents protect them and yet allow them to experience setbacks.
