  • We are living in a world of convenience.

  • And to be clear, I enjoy a lot of this.

  • I definitely benefit from it.

  • I love the fact that I can just pull up my phone, tap something,

  • and it gets delivered the next day, or maybe it gets delivered in an hour or two.

  • And at the same time, I think a lot of us are noticing a trend with kids.

  • It's like my kid doesn't know how to wait.

  • It's like patience doesn't exist anymore.

  • I would have never reacted like that with my parent.

  • If my parent was talking to a friend, I would never have interrupted them.

  • Let's put these things together.

  • We're living in a world of convenience, of one tap instant gratification.

  • Our kids are living in that world too.

  • Waiting, being patient, wanting something and not having something,

  • it actually isn't as built into our children's lives in 2025 as it was when we were growing up.

  • But at the same time, we all want our kids to become resilient, not entitled.

  • We want them to cope with hard things.

  • We want them to know you have to put an effort for a long time before you get the results you're looking for.

  • So how do we help our kid build resilience in a world of convenience,

  • ease, an instant gratification.
