C.S. Lewis said, “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.” As parents, we have an instinct to protect our children from hardship, failure, and other difficult feelings and life experiences. It is hard for us to tolerate the idea of our children ‘suffering’ or being disappointed by failure. But when we are constantly protecting them, we are not allowing them to develop the resilience needed for a successful life.
