S3E10: The Best Gift We Can Give – Raising Resilient Kids & Clients


Listen Later

Welcome back to The Power of Presence, the podcast dedicated to helping parents, caregivers, and support workers build strong, secure relationships through emotional presence and connection.
In this final episode of the series, host Jyee Byrne from Wolfpack Support Services explores why emotional resilience is the greatest gift we can give to the children and clients we support. Resilience isn’t something we’re born with—it’s built through everyday moments of support, challenge, and recovery.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
✅ Why resilience matters for long-term emotional well-being.
✅ The role of small, everyday struggles in building confidence and independence.
✅ How emotional regulation, problem-solving, and support—not overprotection—help kids thrive.
✅ Why failure isn’t the end, but a stepping stone to growth.
✅ How repair and self-reflection foster resilience in the real world.
💡 Key Takeaways:
✔ Normalize struggles without over-rescuing – Let kids and clients learn how to navigate challenges instead of avoiding them.
✔ Teach emotional regulation through co-regulation – They learn resilience by mirroring us in tough moments.
✔ Reframe failure as growth – "You haven’t figured it out yet, but you will."
✔ Encourage healthy independence – Let them make choices and experience natural consequences.
✔ Model repair and self-reflection – Resilience isn’t about perfection—it’s about learning from setbacks.
🌟 This Week’s Challenge:
Find one opportunity to let a child or client navigate a challenge on their own—with your support, but without stepping in too quickly. Notice how small moments of independence help build resilience.
