FAQ

How do I know when to let my child struggle versus when to step in and help?
Right Slider

DadHack provides guidelines for assessing when challenges are productive versus overwhelming, plus strategies for offering support without taking over. The key is being available while allowing growth through difficulty.

My child gives up easily when things get hard. How can I build their persistence?
Right Slider

We offer techniques for gradually building challenge tolerance and celebrating effort over results. Small successes build confidence for bigger challenges. Sometimes the problem is that challenges are too big too fast.

I want my child to be resilient, but I also don't want them to suffer unnecessarily. How do I balance this?
Right Slider

Resilience comes from successfully navigating manageable challenges, not from unnecessary suffering. DadHack helps you identify appropriate challenges that build strength without causing harm.

My child seems to have lower resilience than their peers. Is this something I can help them develop?
Right Slider

Resilience can absolutely be developed, and every child starts from a different place. DadHack provides strategies for building resilience gradually, starting from where your child currently is rather than comparing to others.

How do I help my child develop resilience when I struggle with setbacks myself?
Right Slider

Working on your own resilience alongside your child's can be powerful. DadHack provides strategies for both personal resilience and teaching resilience. Sometimes modeling the learning process is more valuable than modeling perfection.
