Resilience & Grit: One of the Most Protective factors for our children

In this one-hour talk, we will learn how everyday life can present us with opportunities to build our kids’ resilience, especially when we know how to recognize, and then mine, these moments.

• What “emotional growth curves” are, and why it’s important to learn how to spot them
• Concrete, learnable strategies for activating a child’s inner resilience
• Why we parents are uniquely positioned to be the best “first responders” for our kids
• How we can become the trusted cutman/ cutwoman in their corner, for the scrapes and blows that life will present them with

You’ll leave this talk with less fear about the challenges our kids are facing, and more hope and gratitude for all the ways in which they can build the kind of strength and grit that life demands of us all.
