Episode #050: How to Raise Resilient Kids with Steve Magness

In today’s episode we sat down with Steve Magness, author of Do Hard Things, to discuss the latest research on toughness.  Toughness has often been (mis)understood as gritting our way through all circumstances.  Steve explains why this approach is not only harmful to performance, but actually backwards. We found the research and lessons Steve presented provided us with valuable tools for parenting, coaching, and teaching, and we really enjoyed the conversation.  We are confident you’ll take away some key lessons as well – enjoy!
