Focusing on constant happiness for children in childhood can counterproductively wire them for adult anxiety by preventing them from learning to tolerate distress.
“The more you optimize for happiness in childhood, the more you actually wire for anxiety in adulthood.”

True emotional resilience involves helping children navigate difficult experiences rather than trying to protect them from adversity.
“And the point of life is not to prevent our kids from experiencing negative experiences. The point of life or parenting is about helping them navigate those difficult experiences when they show up.”
