Building resilience in kids is all about helping them bounce back from life’s ups and downs. Children benefit from having strong, supportive relationship with a caring adult who makes them feel safe and guided.
Keeping a consistent daily routine gives kids stability, and teaching them self-care habits like eating well and getting enough sleep is vital for their overall health. Setting small, achievable goals helps kids build confidence, while staying positive helps them handle tough situations better.
Parents may consider teaching life skills early on, they could consider planning and anticipating teach-able moments that could assist children in developing problem-solving skills. Helping to learn to identify, express and label feelings, learn positive coping mechanisms, cultivating the knowledge of mind body connection are all vital. Letting children learn from their mistakes is essential to raising a confident, capable, happy, and successful adults.
Parents could set an example of healthy emotional regulation for their children, as they learn from what they observe. Nature and nurturance combine to shape resilience over time. Positive learning experiences and reinforcements help to make children stronger.
When children are given the opportunity to struggle and sometimes fail, you allow them to develop important social and emotional skills. Of course, one wouldn't risk their safety and respond as appropriate. However, your role may be to support and guide, rather than do for them what they need to learn to do for themselves. This helps in developing self confidence, self concept and accountability for actions/choices.
Providing opportunities to develop skills of resilience and coping within a safe, loving, and supportive environment are the best way to prepare children for life's challenges. "It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings." - Ann Landers.
