We often hear that "children are so resilient" which can be true, but they become resilient with support and guidance from those around them. The number one way parents can do this, is by showing them resiliency. This week Michelle Dempsey-Multack is joined by Dr. Jonathan DePierro author of "Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life's Greatest Challenges." Together, Michelle and Jonathan will educate listeners on:

Putting in the work personally to mirror resiliency

Helping your children be able to work through any trauma they experienced because of the divorce

Being able to differentiate what is a current problem and what is a past problem

Modeling a healthy relationship for your children

AND SO MUCH MORE
