In this second talk from Daniel Crump, we’ll explore how unstructured play and age-appropriate risk-taking help kids stretch their distress tolerance, discover their own abilities, and grow into resilient, confident young people.Today’s parents face a unique dilemma: safety expectations have shifted so dramatically that constant supervision is often seen as the only acceptable option. Add academic pressures, overflowing extracurriculars, and cultural fears, and it’s no wonder parents feel conflicted. Together, we’ll look at what gets in the way of letting kids explore, stumble, recalibrate, and rise—and how those very challenges strengthen their resilience. You’ll walk away with practical tools, a sense of empowerment, and renewed confidence to take your own healthy “parenting risks” so you can support your child in becoming capable, independent, and deeply resilient.
