Why?
The NO 1 priority for every Australian parent is how to develop a sense of long-lasting resilience in their kids.
Kids experience rejection, disappointment and challenges every day. How they respond to these events will be determined by their resilience and will have a profound impact on their future success and well-being.
The GOOD NEWS is that children’s resilience can be nurtured and developed. BUT you need to understand what resilience is about.
Until you have a real understanding of its contributing attributes you are leaving things up to chance when it comes to developing your child’s resilience.
I don’t know about you but I don’t want to take chances with my kids. That’s why twelve years ago I researched the factors that contribute to resilience so I knew what to focus on when I brought up my own kids. I didn’t want to practise on them and neither should you.
If you don’t want to take pot luck as a parent then spend an evening with me learning how to help your child thrive rather than fall apart when life bowls them its inevitable bouncers.
I am will conduct this session designed to be an essential introduction to Parenting for Resilience. It is guaranteed to be packed with strategies that you can apply immediately to help grow strong kids no matter what their age, your situation or the challenges they may face.
But more than learning new strategies, you will leave able to develop your own parenting for resilience gameplan for your family.
So what’s the big deal about resilience?
Simple.
Significant research from Australia and abroad shows irrefutably that a deep sense of resilience helps children:
- Bounce back from adversity
- Persist when faced with challenges
- Overcome disappointment
- Achieve more at school
- Handle rejection and make friends
- Be happier and more cheerful
Kids can overcome rejection and disappointment
Every day kids experience rejection and disappointment. Some kids don’t cope while resilient kids move on and soon make new friends or new more positive experiences. Resilient kids can more easily overcome the social rejection and recover when life doesn’t go their way.
Help kids become resilient learners
Kids need to keep going when they meet challenges or hurdles rather than give up.
Setting goals, persisting and working hard are attributes that resilient kids share.
Children don’t have to repeat mistakes
Children’s negative experiences can be great learning opportunities for growth when you make the most into these teachable moments that occur every day. It’s the little things that parents do with their can children that can impact on their resilience.
I am excited about delivering this important seminar and I know you will be too. At only $57 this unique seminar is significant value and could well be the best investment you ever make – i.e. an investment for your child’s future resilience.
I hope to see you there.
