The Gift of Failure: Fostering Intrinsic Motivation and Resilience in Kids
Jessica Lahey February 12 at 6:30 P.M.
Visit Jessica Lahey's website for more information about book and background.
Modern parenting is defined by an unprecedented level of overprotectiveness and drive to navigate everything in our children’s lives. In an effort to be highly responsive to our children’s well-being, we as parents aren’t giving them the chance to experience failure — or the opportunity to learn to solve their own problems. With targeted advice and strategies, Jessica will help parents develop a plan for “stepping back” so that children can grow up to be successful, resilient, and self-reliant adults.
Dedham Country Day, in partnership with the Association of Independent Schools in New England (AISNE), is proud to bring this nationally known author and speaker to campus this winter.
