One harsh word from a friend and their whole day is ruined. One bad mark and they believe they're stupid. Right now, your child breaks easily — not because they're weak, but because nobody taught them how to be strong on the inside. Over 6 months, they build an emotional backbone: handling disappointment, recovering from bad days, and standing up after falling down. They won't become invincible — no child should be — but the things that used to shatter them will only dent them. And that dent will heal faster every time.
