A pediatrician advises that parents who allow their children to learn from failure are raising more resilient kids than most.

Parents have numerous anxieties about their children, including concerns about their academic performance, social life, and ability to adapt to adulthood.

Nurturing resiliency in children can aid them in overcoming any social, emotional, or mental obstacle.

Parents who raise resilient kids teach them how to cope with stressors, rather than eliminating them.

Here are five things parents with resilient kids do:

1. Let their kid fail

Dr. Ken Ginsburg, a professor of pediatrics at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, states that some parents restrict their children's experiences that they believe will be uncomfortable.

This can stunt growth.

"One way to prepare a child for challenges is by allowing them to occasionally fail and recover."

2. Allow their kid to worry

It can be tempting to dismiss your child's problems by saying, "Oh, don't worry about it."

Taryn Marie Stejskal, founder of the Resilience Leadership Institute and author of "The 5 Practices of Highly Resilient People," wrote for CNBC Make It that learning how to cope with anxiety and worry is crucial for building resilience.

She advises parents put aside some time for "worry sessions."

"Ask your child to worry about every aspect of their concern for five minutes. They can write down their anxieties. Afterward, ask them to release their worries and stop thinking about them."

Encourage their child to consider the worst and best possible outcomes.

Stejskal suggests that another way to help your child manage anxiety is to encourage them to imagine the worst and best possible outcomes.

""By reminding our kids that they can handle the worst-case scenario, they will see that most problems can be managed, which makes them feel more secure," she says."

Rewritten sentence: Encouraging people to consider the best possible outcomes can help them achieve positive results.

4. Value personal growth

To foster mental fortitude and tenacity in your children, it is crucial to disregard external validation, as Scott Mautz, a former senior executive of Procter & Gamble and author of "The Mentally Strong Leader," advised in a CNBC Make It article.

"Encourage your children to measure their performance against their own expectations rather than seeking validation from others. Instead of focusing on meeting external standards, encourage them to evaluate their progress by asking themselves, "Did I achieve my goals?" and "Am I becoming a better version of myself?""

5. Focus on process, not outcome

Kids are bound to encounter obstacles while pursuing their objectives. Overemphasizing the end result may discourage them from taking chances and developing.

Mautz states that being overly focused on results can weaken children's mental resilience as there are numerous factors apart from effort that can impact the outcome.

Instead of asking "What did you learn in the process?" or "Did you have fun?" it might be more effective to ask "What did you discover about yourself through this experience?" or "What did you enjoy most about this process?" This can help them see that there is value in trying new things, even if it doesn't go exactly as planned.
