The Paradox of Protection: How Rescuing Hurts Our Children
Have you ever rushed to school with your child's forgotten homework? Or tied their shoes because it's faster than watching them struggle? Jessica Lahey's transformative insight began when a thirteen-year-old student confessed in an essay: "I am so afraid of failing that I lose focus on what actually matters: learning." This moment crystallized a troubling reality facing modern parents-our desperate efforts to protect children from disappointment are undermining their future success. Today's parents face impossible expectations: parent intuitively while following expert advice, excel professionally while being fully present, trust instincts while heeding specialists. Social media has amplified these pressures, creating constant comparison and self-doubt. We've shifted from concerns about survival to obsessing over developmental minutiae, from ensuring basic education to strategizing about preschool admissions. The result? A generation of children afraid to take risks, quick to give up when facing challenges, and lacking the resilience needed for adult life. But there is another way-one that transforms failure from something to fear into a powerful gift that builds competence, confidence, and character.
