Parents often face the challenge of knowing when to help and when to step back. Dr. Dana Suskind believes giving children the experience of solving problems is crucial. Experts suggest asking open-ended questions to guide children rather than immediately solving issues. Psychologist Dr. Jean Twenge notes that today’s kids have fewer opportunities to practice independence. Parents can facilitate small challenges in everyday life to help children build confidence and resilience.

That's according to newly released results from a standardized test taken by 15-year-olds around the world.
