What You're Doing to Keep Them Safe Is Making Them Fragile
About this episode
Michelle Kenney discusses the impact of over-protection on children's development and offers practical strategies for parents.
The week before my oldest left for college, I caught myself reorganizing her room, repacking her bags, and sending her articles she didn't ask for. She was ready. I wasn't. And in that moment I realized I had been fighting the same battle for years: the pull to swoop in, smooth it over, take the discomfort away. In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned about what over-protection actually does to a child's nervous system, and the five practical shifts I teach parents to raise kids who can handle hard things without ever leaving them to white-knuckle it alone.
