EP 68. Build Resilience by; Delaying Gratification, Listening to and Validating your kids. with Special Guest Thad Shunkwiler
Welcome Back No-Problem Parents!
Resilience isn't about strength or being stronger than others.
My guest today describes resilience as rubber-not steel. Our ability to overcome and bounce back when bad things happen.
He shares the importance of delaying gratification, listening to our kids more than telling them what you want them to do, and validating their ideas, efforts, and resilience.
