Antifragility, a concept introduced by Nassim Taleb in 2012, describes how certain systems grow stronger when exposed to stress. Unlike resilience, which resists breaking, antifragile systems thrive under adversity. From nature’s trees and baby chicks to human muscles, immunity, and even emotional capacity, antifragility proves essential for long-term growth. By fostering manageable challenges, we can help our children become antifragile, equipping them to face life’s difficulties with strength and adaptability.
