TPJ 10: How to Raise Resilient Kids? (Antifragility)

Hi, Fam! - A podcast by Avital Schreiber Levy

Stress…

We don’t want our kids to be stressed, but I think it’s safe to say we all want our children to be able to handle stress.

In this episode I discuss ways to help develop resiliency and anti-fragility in your children so they’ll be prepared to handle the stress of the “real world.”
