Building Resilience

Things are going to inevitably happen to your child that are going to upset, frustrate, annoy and disappoint them.  So how do you help them to become more resilient in the face of challenges?  

Your job as a parent is not to prevent everyday disappointments or hurts - that's just not possible or actually helpful for your child.  Instead, your role is to help them cope with them in a way that's going to build their confidence & their ability to manage similar situations.  

The more you can help your child in each situation, the less their upset feelings will accumulate which will mean they will be less triggered and more able to cope well in the future.

So how can you do this?  Listen in to this episode to find out.
