I wish I understood this earlier.
For a long time, I thought being a good coach, parent or leader meant helping people avoid struggle.
Now I’m not so sure.
Sometimes the struggle is exactly what builds the confidence, resilience and character we’re trying to develop.
There’s a difference between letting someone struggle alone and allowing them to struggle while knowing you’re right there beside them.
So I’m curious.
Are we becoming too quick to make things easier for people, especially kids?
I’d genuinely like to hear your thoughts.
