  • Teaching Your Child How to Develop a Resilient Mindset

    Bullying can leave kids feeling isolated, anxious, and unsure of their worth—and parents often wonder if they’re responding the right way. Counselor Julie Lowe offers practical, biblical guidance to help you recognize bullying, respond with wisdom, and give your child the courage and confidence to stand strong. Then resilience is a life skill we need for the inevitable struggles we will face in this life — but we must be intentional about learning this skill. Valorie Burton has identified some key “rules” for resilience that can help us be more confident, content, and successful when difficult situations happen.
