Resilience

Developing strength, calm and kindness in our kids

“How can I help my child be more resilient?”

This is a question Dr. Justin Coulson often hears from worried mums and dads. Based on his best-selling book 9 Ways to a Resilient Child, this session shows parents how to help their children cope powerfully and positively with the challenges that life throws at them. 

This presentation is one of Justin’s most popular with powerful stories and illustrations that every parent can relate to.

He explains:

• the factors that help and hinder resilience
• why common advice such as “toughen up Princess” doesn’t work
• how competition and praise may undermine resilience.
