In this conversation, bestselling author and counselor David Thomas joins Josh to explore a difficult question: Have our good intentions as parents unintentionally gotten in the way of raising capable, resilient kids? Together they discuss: Why confidence grows from competence—not constant praise How over-helping can undermine a child's resilience The surprising connection between failure and emotional health Why happiness should never be the primary goal of parenting The dangers of \"rescuing\" kids from every struggle How healthy boundaries create security What today's anxiety epidemic reveals about modern parenting Why children need opportunities to struggle, fail, and recover Practical ways to build capability at every age David also shares one simple challenge every parent can implement this week to begin raising children who are resourceful, resilient, and prepared for life. If you've ever wondered whether you're helping your child too much—or how to raise kids who can thrive in an increasingly fragile culture—this episode is for you. *Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!
