What parent doesn’t want his or her children to be successful in life? If you’re a parent, I’m willing to bet you desire this too. After all, this is one of the reasons we work hard and sacrifice a lot. If you’ve been wondering what you can do to give your kids an edge in life – then wonder no more.

This is about nurturing your child’s ability to take failure in their stride and carry on. In other words, to increase their ‘toughness’ and ability to recover from difficulties.
