66. How to Raise Resilient Children and Teens with Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe

It’s safe to say that most people have struggled in some way or another during the pandemic. This is especially true for women who had to navigate leaving their jobs, childcare, and virtual schooling. With the war in Ukraine and not to mention inflation, there is no better time to have a guest on to talk about resiliency. If Covid-19 taught us anything, it’s that we must raise our children to be brave and adaptable because we never know what can happen in this world. In today's episode, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe and I talk about raising resilient children. She gives us some tips and tricks along the way from toddler through adulthood. 

When children are resilient, they are braver, more curious, more adaptable, and able to extend their reach into the world. In the ever changing landscape of our world, it is crucial for children to develop their personal capacity for resiliency.
