About this listen

In this heartfelt episode, we explore the delicate balance between pushing kids to thrive and pushing too hard in sports, academics, and beyond. Through personal stories, we unpack how parental pressure can stem from our own need for validation, not just our kids’ potential. Backed by research, including a 2021 study showing 25% of kids face anxiety or depression, we discuss how to foster perseverance without compulsion. With practical tips and diagnostic questions, this episode helps parents encourage their kids’ dreams while ensuring joy and well-being remain at the heart of their journey.
