Children need to face hardship to grow. Disagreements with friends and bad grades aren't problems to prevent, they're the stresses that build resilience and trigger the adaptive changes that make us stronger.

If we prevent children from going through hardship, we're doing them a real disservice. We're actually harming them. So that psychological stress they're put under because of disagreement they have with a friend or a bad grade in school, these are actually potentially growth experiences. Why? Because psychologically, as physiologically, we're an antifragile system. We need to trigger that antifragility through some stress, hardship, challenge. And with that challenge comes change.
