Raising Resilient Kids with Talia Kovacs

More and more, our kids are anxious, afraid to make mistakes, and deeply upset when things don’t go their way.
Our kids are refusing to try, and shutting down when things get hard.
What‘s a parent to do?
If your elementary-school child stomps off the field at soccer when they don’t score a goal, gets super upset when their little brother has more cake than they do, crumples up their paper if they color outside the lines, or hates to try something new out of fear of not succeeding.. you’re in the right place.
In this fun, interactive workshop, we will:
- Rethink the idea of resilience
- Learn a full framework for encouraging comfort with mistakes
- Apply steps to develop our child’s frustration tolerance
- Make a plan for promoting resilience at home
- Be confident in our ability to create more peace, happiness, and connection at home
Join together to collaborate with other Rivertowns parents and see how resilience-building can positively impact the entire family structure. Create a calm, connected home by the end of the month 🙂
