Modern parenting is high stakes, leaving parents terrified of failure in their parenting and in their children. But it turns out that the overprotective behaviors driven by our fears undermine our children’s—and our own—successes throughout life. Join Yael for a conversation with best-selling author, teacher, podcaster, and parent Jessica Lahey for a thought-provoking conversation about how parents can learn to relate to failure differently for themselves and their children. And why we should. 

Listen and Learn:

How overprotective parenting can undermine competence, independence, academic potential, and emotional health

Why failure gets a bad rap and how to reframe it

How autonomy, competence, and relatedness can help our kids learn to learn better

The importance of intrinsic motivation and how to help children build it

What external motivators are and why they are problematic

How to “parent in place” with greater ease (what we can do less of and what we can focus on while our children are learning at home)

Why it’s important to focus on process over product
