Quotes

  • "They also have a new thing. It's called disengaged or the silent epidemic where children aren't as motivated as they were before, probably because their perseverance or their grit isn't there because their confidence is kind of tanked a little bit." - Dr. Michele Borba

  • "The highest correlation of resilience is agency." - Dr. Michele Borba

  • "Build those life skills so your child can live a life well without you. That's a resilient child. So maybe your new mantra right this moment is never do for your child what your child can do for themselves." - Dr. Michele Borba

  • "We're living in a culture where empathy is nose diving 40 percent in the last 38 years for Pete's sake. Well, narcissism has gone up and keeps going up. So maybe it's talking about feelings when you're little because you can't feel for another person unless you go, how does he feel? And be able to read it and you don't learn that from an emoji." - Dr. Michele Borba

  • "One of the most important skills a kid needs to learn is to be able to brainstorm." - Dr. Michele Borba
