Courageous Conversations: The Gift of Failure

East Gym
A conversation for parents with author Jessica Lahey about letting go so children can learn, grow—and succeed.

For information on all events in this series, please visit the Courageous Conversations web page.
This groundbreaking manifesto focuses on the critical school years when parents must learn to allow their children to experience the disappointment and frustrations that occur from life’s inevitable problems so that they can grow up to be successful, resilient, and self-reliant adults. Providing a path toward solutions, Lahey lays out a blueprint with targeted advice for handling homework, report cards, social dynamics, and sports. Most importantly, she sets forth a plan to help parents learn to step back and embrace their children’s failures. Q&A to follow.
