The Gift of Failure for Both Parents and Kids
36m · PublishedJessica Lahey is a teacher, writer, and mother who believes it’s important to allow children to learn from their mistakes and failures.
Jessica says when parents constantly intervene or rescue their children from consequences, they hinder their child's learning process and can result in dependent, emotionally stunted children who never learn to adapt to the world around them.
She suggests parents should aim to foster their children's autonomy and competence, rather than misguided confidence.

Understanding the INTJ on the MBTI
32m · PublishedA few years ago Josh Hubbard was a physically active, and mentally fit young man in his 20’s. He got up one morning and felt a fairly strong headache but figured he was dehydrated. Hours later it became apparent he’d suffered a stroke. For a time he’s lost complete use of his left arm. And while he did recover, it was only through daily (hourly, minute by minute), painstaking activity.
Josh is an INTJ which stands for Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Judgment. INTJs are known for their strategic thinking, powerful insights, and constant thirst for knowledge. They make up only 2.1% of the population.
