There’s a universal law of parenting that nobody warns you about: the more you want your child to do something, the less likely they are to do it.Tell them to clean their room? Suddenly, they’ve lost all muscle function. Ask them to eat their vegetables? They act like you’ve poisoned their plate. Encourage them to try again after failing? Instant meltdown.

The world children are growing up in today is changing faster than ever before. Advances in technology, shifting social norms, and global challenges require children to be adaptable—able to adjust to new situations, learn from experiences, and remain resilient amid uncertainty.
