STOP RAISING WEAK KIDS: How Good Parents Accidentally Create Fragile Children

Kids today can talk about their feelings better than any generation before them.So why are so many of them falling apart when they experience frustration, disappointment, boredom, anxiety, failure, or discomfort?After more than twenty-six years as a teacher, principal, and father, Leroy Slanzi believes the problem isn't that our kids are broken.It's that they're underprepared for discomfort.In our effort to protect children from struggle, many of us have unintentionally removed the very experiences that build resilience, emotional intelligence, responsibility, confidence, and mental strength.Stop Raising Weak Kids challenges modern parenting assumptions and explores why so many children struggle with frustration tolerance, emotional regulation, responsibility, anxiety, and perseverance.Through powerful stories, practical insights, and hard-earned lessons from both home and school, Slanzi offers a different path forward-one that balances love with leadership, compassion with accountability, and support with resilience.This is not a book about being tougher.It's a book about raising kids who can handle tough things.Because our kids don't need perfect parents.They need steady ones.
