You’ve got a million things you’re trying to teach your kids. But don’t miss one of the most important skills in life!

Hi, I’m Mark Gregston … with Parenting Today’s Teens.

When they were little, you taught them to write their name or ride a bike. In the next few years, you became the math tutor and showed them how to throw a curveball. In the teen years, you were the unofficial driving instructor. But there’s one thing parents often forget to teach. It’s how to struggle. You heard me right. How to struggle.

The life ahead will be full of ups and downs… and you won’t be there to coddle your son or daughter.

Before your child leaves your nest, they need to become champions of adversity. Teach ‘em how to push through the tough stuff. Some day … they will thank you!
