All parents want to raise strong, resilient children. But what, specifically, are you actually doing to ensure this happens? Most parents waste a lot of energy fretting about the calamities that might befall their child, when the truly important factor isn’t what your child does or doesn’t experience, but making sure your kid will be okay regardless of what happens to them.

You can’t bubble wrap children or shield them from life, and trauma was rubber-stamped into their future from the moment of birth. You can, however, instill the psychological strength that will help them bounce back quickly from whatever life throws their way.

The information in this book will help make that happen. You’ll learn how a child’s early years shape the way they relate to adversity, and how environmental factors make children either stronger or more vulnerable. We talk about what builds resiliency in children, and outline common parenting habits that undermine this goal. You’ll read about the self-esteem trap, and learn the right and wrong ways to praise a child, so that your kids develop self-esteem of the authentic variety. We show you how to help children develop positive attitudes toward failure. Most importantly, we discuss ideological principles you can instill in your children that will help them bounce back quickly from all types of adversity, so that hardships don’t affect them any longer than they need to.

In today’s climate, where overprotective parenting is par for the course and young adults are now rushing to therapy because someone uttered an upsetting “trigger word,” parents need this material now more than ever. Back when this book was first being written, experts warned that parenting trends would lead to a generation of incompetent youth. We’ve now seen these dire predictions come to fruition. The unfortunate truth is that many of our kids are becoming fragile glass figurines who shatter under the slightest bit of pressure. Don’t let your child become one of them.
