Should you let your kid quit? Speaker: Dr. Becky Kennedy Source: Overcoming Guilt & Building Tenacity in Kids & Adults | Dr. Becky Kennedy | Huberman Lab The conversation around our children and quitting is always a hard one. It's a tough topic to navigate, and I think Dr. Becky hits the key points right on the head. We're trying to teach our kids resilience and confidence, and being bad at something is hard. Number one, new things are always hard. And it can be difficult to stick out a new sport or activity, because you almost always stink at it to begin with. In addition to that, most activities (especially sports) have ups and downs. Those challenges can make us feel like giving up. And for kids that haven't been exposed to these difficult things yet, quitting can seem like a really nice option. At the end of the day, we need to teach our children values and skills. That's the goal. The goal isn't to keep them in an activity they don't like. So figure out how to best do that, and trust yourself. 👥 Share with a parent who needs to hear this
