Raising kids in today’s world isn’t easy—and it’s natural to want to shield them from discomfort. But what if struggle is exactly what helps them grow?

In this powerful conversation, Dan Savage, a therapist specializing in sports psychology and anxiety, and Katie Knicely, a counseling intern and former teacher with 23 years of classroom experience, will explore how life’s challenges can actually foster emotional strength, confidence, and adaptability in children.

Together, they’ll share:

    •    Practical strategies for encouraging resilience at home

    •    How to support kids through setbacks, big emotions, and failure

    •    The value of discomfort in learning and development

    •    Real-world examples from both clinical and classroom perspectives

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or mental health professional, you’ll leave with tools and insights you can start using right away. There will also be time for Q&A, so bring your questions!
