The biggest myth about raising resilient kids. Many parents believe that being sensitive or attuned makes children fragile. We worry that if we’re too responsive, our kids won’t learn how to handle hard things. But as Dr. Pressman explains, that’s not how resilience works. Resilience isn’t built by ignoring feelings or pushing kids to “tough it out.” And it isn’t built by shielding them from every challenge, either. Both extremes can backfire. True resilience comes from the balance: being sensitive enough to acknowledge what children are feeling, while holding steady boundaries that remind them they are safe and capable. It makes us wonder: what changes when we stop seeing sensitivity as weakness, and start seeing it as the foundation of strength?
