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.

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.
