Many modern-day parents shelter and protect their children from risks and failure – but did you know failure could be the best lesson you teach your child all year? Fear of failure as a child prevents you from taking risks that lead to career accomplishments, emotional security, financial stability and ultimately confidence as a successful adult.

My guests today, Rick and Sarah Ruiz, authors of “Wisher, Washer, Wishy-Washy: How to Move From Just Existing to Personal Abundance!” join me about the value of taking risks when you’re still a kid. No parent wants their child to dream of success as a child and eventually settle into the belief that their unfulfilled dreams and unachieved goals were simply not meant to be. The reality in life is that without risk, there is no reward. Listen to today’s show to discover how encouraging risk and failure as a child can lead to an extraordinary life as an adult. This is one life lesson no child should live without.
