Why is it more important than ever for kids to be resilient? Research shows:
- 1 in 7 school-aged children experience mental health problems i.e. anxiety and/or depression
- 65% of adolescents will not actively seek help for mental health issues
Academics, sports, and social pressures are more demanding than ever before. For example, social media has changed the way children communicate. This can negatively impact children’s confidence and perceptions of themselves. As parents our job is not to fix problems. Rather, we teach our children how to cope with difficult situations.
Interested in learning strategies for teaching your children to cope? Our Raising Resilient Kids workshop starts tomorrow. We had a last minute cancellation, so please contact me if you’d like to join!
