Here are five things parents should try to never do if they want to raise successful, resilient kids, according to psychologists and other parenting experts. Resilient children typically have the confidence to bounce back from failures and continue taking necessary, calculated risks, research shows. "The more you trust your children to do things on their own, the more empowered they'll be," she wrote. "The most accomplished people reached their goals by failing along the way," wrote Morin. Kids learn more, and remember what they learn, when they're actively curious, research shows.

In her new book "The 5 Principles of Parenting: Your Essential Guide to Raising Good Humans," Aliza Pressman outlines how parents can raise resilient kids. Pressman is a developmental psychologist and co-founder of the Mount Sinai Parenting Center. One key step is self-regulation, or the ability to respond to experiences in a way that is socially acceptable. Gentle parenting calls for caretakers to do this in lieu of scolding an upset or frustrated child. "By sharing our sense of calm with our kids, we slowly teach them how to regulate on their own when they sense a possible threat," she says.

One aspect of raising resilient kids is teaching them how to handle their emotions during uncomfortable or stressful situations. But, in doing so you're dismissing their feelings instead of teaching them how to deal with their feelings. Pressman is the author of "The 5 Principles of Parenting: Your Essential Guide to Raising Good Humans." "Co-regulation in parenting refers to the presence of a calm and connected caregiver who can enable a child to regain balance when they're upset or afraid," she says. "By sharing our sense of calm with our kids, we slowly teach them how to regulate on their own when they sense a possible threat," Pressman says.

There are lots of practical considerations discussed prior to having kids: How much time will I need to take off work? Before having kids, Pressman says you should ask yourself two questions: "What do I value?" and "What does this family value?" "With clear values, we can make decisions with more confidence and clarity." Here's how to narrow down what your values are and figure out what role you want them to play in your kids' lives:

As a psychologist, I've spent nearly 20 years studying how to care for and raise good humans. The overlooked skill I always tell new parents to teach is inner efficiency. Inner efficacy is an individual's belief in their own capacity to do what it takes to meet their goals. but inner efficacy says, "I have what it takes to figure this out and achieve what I set out to." Kids with a strong sense of inner efficacy are more likely to challenge themselves and put in the effort.

In her book, Pressman defines the "Five R's" of raising resilient kids. RelationshipsStrong relationships can help a child feel like they can handle adversity. Toxic stress: This is a strong response to prolonged adversity, such as seeing violence or experiencing persistent economic hardship. Toxic stress occurs in the absence of protective relationships. Enforcing both can help kids feel "safe," Pressman says.
