"Children need to believe their future is bright. The more disappointments they don't recover well from, the less likely they are to dream. When they do not process challenging experiences well it can lead to defeat, rather than encourage them to grow and mature.

Mental health suffers. Children need to be resilient and when they develop this ability and make wise choices it becomes part of their character.

In Raising Resilient Kids moms and dads will learn the power and purpose of resilience and how to parent so as to make it more likely their children will utilize this character quality"-- Provided by publisher.
