How do you raise kids who can handle our topsy-turvy world? Not by coddling them, that’s for sure. No, you want to cultivate grit in your children—the kind of resilience they’ll need to absorb whatever shocks may come their way. To help with that, we’ve got some insights from science journalist Melinda Wenner Moyer, who’s written a new book called Hello, Cruel World!: Science-Based Strategies for Raising Terrific Kids in Terrifying Times.


This episode comes from a show we love called The Next Big Idea Daily. For more mini masterclasses from the best new nonfiction, follow The Next Big Idea Daily on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
