  • Helping Kids Build Resilience

    We live in a culture where everything comes easily to us. We often don’t have to struggle for things and we are creating kids who want to give up too easily. Dr. Terri Daniels and I talk about helping our kids struggle in a way that develops and strengthens their resilience muscles.

    [2:23] Keep Swinging
    [4:20] Three Ways Parents Can Impact Resiliency In Their Kids
    [12:00] They Can Do Hard Things
    [13:58] When Kids Don’t Learn Resilience

    [NOTE: We are not suggesting we should not ever help our kids with their problems. There are some times that we must jump in and help our kids with their problems, especially if it is related to something that can harm them or other people, like bullying, drug use, mental health issues, etc.]
