About Resilient Kids:
Children need to believe their future is bright. The more
disappointments they don’t recover well from, the less likely they
are to dream. When they do not process challenging experiences well
it can lead to defeat, rather than encourage them to grow and
mature. Far too many children don’t grasp their strengths and, as a
result do not believe they can overcome negative encounters. Apathy
sets in. Discouragement persists. Arguments rage. Mental health
suffers. Children need to be resilient and when they develop this
ability and make wise choices it becomes part of their character.
Furthermore, they need parents who help them to learn from negative
experiences and who allow them a certain measure of struggle.
In Resilient Kids moms and dads will learn the power and
purpose of resilience and how to parent so as to make it more
likely their children will utilize this character quality.
