All parents want their children to become resilient and confident. But in a fast-changing, competitive world they increasingly they find it hard to let their children learn the vital life lessons that come from facing challenge and disappointment. The balancing act is a hard one: how to guide and protect children yet still let them grapple with real-life issues so as to build true resilience. Dr. Evans will offer concrete ways to manage this key dilemma.
