We rush to fix our kids’ discomfort.
But as Dr. Becky Kennedy, founder of Good Inside, reminds us that fixing isn’t what builds resilience. Connection is.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, during a conversation on Parenting in an Anxious World, she shared a phrase that stayed with me: “sick joy.”
I believe this is hard.
And I believe in you.
I’ve been away from Young Explorers this week, learning and listening, and thinking deeply about how we help children feel supported and capable. Her work continues to shape how we think about connection in our own community, and we’re especially hopeful to have her upcoming children’s book, Leave Me Alone, on our shelves when it’s released.
Grateful for voices that help parents stay connected instead of fixing.
What’s one small moment this shows up in your house?
