Dr. Becky Kennedy, the clinical psychologist TIME called the Millennial Parenting Whisperer, told Lewis that resilience is simply the ability to tolerate hard things. The longer you can stay in the hard place, the more likely success finds you.
Her example is a three-year-old melting down over a puzzle, begging you to do it. Becky stays, wonders out loud where the pieces go, and refuses to take away the best feeling in the world: finding out you can do a little more than you thought.
A parent's words become a child's self-talk. Do it for them every time, and you may get a 25-year-old calling you to finish a work project.
Next time your kid falls apart, you will see it as your chance to dim the light instead of switching it off.
