| No Images? Click here  If 2018 was the year the lawnmower parent gained attention, then 2019 is the year that everyone sees the fault in that method. Last week’s not-so-shocking-and-yet-completely-shocking revelations about the college admissions scandal inevitably led to a discussion about how these types of parents ultimately fail their kids. Yes, they bought their kids into some of the country’s best schools, but they had failed to teach their kids some of life’s most important lessons, including being OK with failure and the importance of resilience. So HuffPost reporter (? since we label Catherine’s title below) Caroline Bologna interviewed numerous experts not only about the failures of lawnmower parenting, but also how to teach your kids to fail. As noted expert and author Michelle Borba told her: “Failure is part of life, and if our children don’t have the opportunity to fail or make mistakes, they’ll never realize they can bounce back. That’s what resilience is all about.” Read Caroline’s wonderful, informative piece for practical tips for teaching your guys the gift of failure. For when your kid is keeping you awake HuffPost Senior Reporter Catherine Pearson beautifully covered an often-overlooked topic in her piece about men and miscarriages. There is much written about -- though little discussed -- about women and miscarriages; far less is researched and understood about how men fair with their partner’s miscarriage. It’s an interesting, thought-provoking read. More stories from the trenches:  HuffPost is now a part of Oath and a part of Verizon.
