There's a new set of 3Rs for our kids—respect, responsibility, and resilience—to better prepare them for life in the real world. Once developed, these skills let kids take charge, allowing parents to step back for the benefit of all. Vicki Hoefle encourages a different, counter-intuitive approach: for parents to sit on their hands, stay on the sidelines, even if duct tape is required, so that the kids step up.
