Raising Resilient Kids: Balancing Support and Challenge – Keith Kurlander & Dr. Will Van Derveer – HPP 143

As parents, one of our primary goals is to raise children who are self-assured, adaptable, and equipped to navigate the challenges of adulthood – but striking the right balance between support and challenge is no easy feat. In this episode, we explore this delicate equilibrium of parenthood, sharing our personal experiences at different stages of the journey. We emphasize the importance of repairing ruptures in parent-child relationships to build emotional intelligence. We also consider how to set appropriate boundaries, examining the phenomenon of parental over-protection. As the world rapidly evolves for the next generation, we open dialogue about preparing children for the uncertainties ahead. Our conversation underscores the value of honest self-assessment by parents, community feedback, and open communication with children. Ultimately, asking tough questions – "How is my kid really doing?" "How am I doing as a parent?" – can be daunting, but we believe these introspective pauses are essential for growth.
