British racing driver, Nicolas Hamilton says his mother鈥檚 decision to not 鈥渉elp鈥� him when he fell as a child, enabled him to build his resiliency 鈥渇rom the inside outwards鈥�.

Speaking to 5 Live鈥檚 Naga Munchetty, he said 鈥渟he taught me from a very young age that it was okay to fall, hurt yourself, brush yourself down, get back up and keep moving forward鈥�.

He said when talking about his mother鈥檚 attitude towards his cerebral palsy 鈥淚f the parents see the condition as an issue, then the child鈥檚 going to see the condition as an issue鈥�.

Nicolas explained that when he would fall in public places as a youth, his mother would sometimes refuse to let other people help him get back up. He admitted that this would sometimes leave him questioning 鈥渨hy can鈥檛 (she) just help me?鈥�, but the tough love approach would enable him to have 鈥渟o much independence鈥� and strive him towards success.
