Does anyone else remember when watching a movie wasn't instant?!⁠
⁠
It was a whole process - planning with a friend, driving to Blockbuster, walking through aisles, hoping the movie we wanted was there. Sometimes it wasn’t. Sometimes we had to choose something else.⁠
⁠
Back then, disappointment was built into everyday life. It was frustrating, but it also prepared us for the bigger disappointments that come later - the ones that don’t resolve in a day.⁠
⁠
Our kids live in a different world. There’s barely any space between wanting and having. Between “I want to watch that” and “it’s playing right now.” That gap - the waiting, the hoping, the not getting - is almost gone.⁠
⁠
And while I love the convenience of our world (I really do), I also think about what disappears when that space disappears. Waiting taught us resilience. It taught us how to sit in discomfort, how to hope, how to cope.⁠
⁠
Maybe it’s not about going back to Blockbuster. Maybe it’s just about remembering that waiting isn’t wasted time, it’s where some of the most important growth happens.⁠
⁠
This clip is from the most recent episode of the Good Inside podcast where I break down why our kids get less practice waiting and tolerating frustration than previous generations - and how parents can intentionally build resilience in a world of convenience.
