Dr. Borba shares the seven characteristics that parents can teach their kids to promote resilience. Kim and Dr. Borba talk about how to raise thrivers instead of strivers. They talk about how parenting out of fear or overprotection paralyzes kids and leaves them unprepared for adulthood. They also discuss learning from mistakes, integrity, empathy and intrinsic motivation.
