Course overview
Lesson Overview

4.82 – Avoiding the Trap of “Toughen Up” Culture: Telling children to “toughen up” may seem like preparation for life, but it often teaches emotional suppression. Real strength lies in understanding, not denial. Parents can redefine resilience by showing that courage includes vulnerability. Acknowledging pain before recovery teaches emotional authenticity. Over time, this approach produces balanced, confident individuals rather than detached ones. Encouraging expression of fear or sadness builds long-term coping skills. When parents replace “be tough” with “be brave enough to feel,” they cultivate true resilience. Compassion, not hardness, forms the foundation of emotional endurance.
