One area where we may be falling short is teaching resilience. In a society that puts a premium on success and achievement, it's easy for children to feel pressured to be perfect all the time. But the truth is, failure is a natural part of life. We need to teach our children how to bounce back from setbacks, how to persevere in the face of adversity, and how to learn from their mistakes.

Along with resilience, empathy is another important quality that is sometimes neglected in traditional education. In an increasingly diverse world, it's crucial for children to develop an understanding and appreciation for different perspectives and experiences. Teaching empathy can help foster compassion, kindness, and cooperation – all essential skills for building strong relationships and navigating conflicts.
