9 Ways to a Resilient Child

The author of 21 Days to a Happier Family, Dr Justin Coulson, shares insights on raising kids who'll bounce back from adversity and challenging times.

"How can I help my child be more resilient?" is a question Dr Justin Coulson often hears from concerned parents. 9 Ways to a Resilient Child provides parents with practical strategies to help their children cope with the challenges that life presents—from friendship problems and bullying to losing a game or failing an exam.

Even our home environment and the way we parent can impact our children's ability to recover from difficulty. Dr Coulson explains the factors that either help or hinder resilience and why common advice such as "Toughen up, princess" just doesn't work.

Learn the secrets of positive psychology that will build your child's capacity to bounce back, stronger and more resilient than ever. This includes the ability to think flexibly, exercise self-control, and make safe and healthy choices. Discover the powerful impact of family, relationships, school, and community, and the most effective ways to support your child.

Dr Coulson aims to bolster resilience—not just in our children, but also in ourselves. It takes resilient parents to raise a resilient child.
