00:00:00.000 I don't stop my kids from falling flat on their face.

00:00:03.040 If they're doing something that's a little risky, I let them.

00:00:05.680 Because there's no amount of me talking that's going to teach them a lesson

00:00:08.860 that sometimes the world just has to teach them.

00:00:11.240 Controlled adversity, which is essentially designing the process for your kids to learn.

00:00:16.500 And that starts by not doing everything for them.

00:00:18.600 Let them make their own lunches and breakfasts and tie their own shoes and all that fun stuff.

00:00:22.220 When the kid's on the floor flailing out in the middle of the mall

00:00:25.120 because they didn't get that chocolate bar,

00:00:26.620 allowing them to sit there in that frustration

00:00:29.220 is a moment that will pay dividends into the future.

00:00:32.240 Caving into that outbreak

00:00:33.860 and getting them that candy or that toy

00:00:35.700 will cause you massive amounts of pain

00:00:37.900 for many years to come.
