In this Atlantic video, organizational psychologist and dad of three Adam Grant shares why helicopter parenting isn’t helping our kids in the long run (duh) and shares advice on raising more resilient kids. I think his advice is spot-on, even if you aren’t a parent. It’s a good reminder of how we all can weather life’s setbacks and “bounce back” stronger.
Related: Late last year, Grant gave a TED Talk that asked the question, “Are you a Giver or a Taker?” that’s really worth a watch. It inspired me to read his 2013 book, Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success, which validated my lifelong love of being a “giver.”
