Dr. Jessica Peck: When life doesn't go the way your child hoped, are we rushing in to remove the struggle? Or helping them discover that they can walk through hard things and come out stronger? Resilience isn't pretending everything is fine or expecting children to handle hardship alone. It's the capacity to adapt, uh, recover, seek help and keep moving forward. When life is difficult and resilience grows through relationships, not isolation, James 1, 2, 4 reminds us that the testing of our faith can produce perseverance and maturity. We can help our kids develop resilience by allowing appropriate challenges, teaching them problem solving and celebrating effort rather than just outcomes, and helping them learn from their mistakes. Be a secure base they can return to, not a helicopter that never lets them struggle. When your child faces something hard, are you teaching them that they can't handle it? Or helping them discover I can do hard things and I don't have to do them alone. God is with me. Think about it and I'll see you on the Doctor Nurse Mama show here on American Family Radio.
