Have you noticed that kids seem more anxious and overwhelmed than ever? Doesn't it feel like parenting now poses unique and difficult challenges compared to generations before? How do we equip our kids to be resilient through all they will face in today's world?
Laura Gaines, a mental health professional with decades of experience supporting kids, teens, and their parents, joins me on the Heartful Parent Podcast today. We're exploring resilience from many angles, including its psychological basis and its practical application in parenting.
Laura points us to lean into joy, meaning, and healthy routines to nurture resilience. We both agree that the broader goal is to raise well-adjusted adults, not just children.
Find Laura's comprehensive blog at learnmodelteach.com, full of tips and tools for growing resilience in your kids.
