Audience: Administrators, Teachers, Counselors, Coaches/Directors, Children/Youth Pastors
Learning about resiliency’s many benefits will inspire you not to panic when your children struggle. You’ll discover how to support and instruct them without over-protecting them or rescuing them too soon so they benefit from struggling and recover from hard times. Learn how to walk that fine line, the best ways to help children handle their disappointments when things don’t go their way, and how to encourage them when they want to give up. Dr. Kathy’s practical techniques work!
