Sassy Mama Expert Chat ‘Fostering Grit and Resilience in Children’ with counselling experts Dr. Ron Drisner and Kristy Finlay from CIS
One of the challenges children and adolescents face is managing an increasing amount of everyday stress. Learning how to view stressors in a positive and less threatening light can greatly enhance their ability to deal with challenges. As parents, our instinct is to protect our children from negative experiences – but is that really helping them? Should we instead be allowing them to take risks so that they can learn from their mistakes and develop grit in persevering through failure?
In this Sassy Mama Expert Chat with Canadian International School, you will learn:
What are ‘resilience’ and ‘grit’?
