One way to provide a challenge is to send kids on an outdoor adventure. An article titled "Extreme Fun" tells about "rock climbing, caving, kayaking, and whitewater rafting" for new challenges instead of boring hiking trails and "still-water canoe rides of traditional day camps" (Blair 161)
One way to increase self-esteem is to accomplish something difficult. In an article about how to increase a child's self-esteem, Jada Ledford Daves, an educational psychologist tells parents, "Keep expectations high by consistently offering new challenges to your child" (Daves 53)
It suggests that something bad happened to Chris that made him think he couldn't trust people or relationships to make him happy. Chris' "principle need was to find some kind of meaning and order in life which was not entirely, or even chiefly, dependent upon interpersonal relationships" (Krakauer 61)
Frankl wrote, "Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible" (Frankl 172)
An article about wilderness challenges tells about a girl name Meghan McClure whose mountain climbing goal was "See it, go for it, conquer it." (Wilson 5)
