Building Resilience - Preparing your child for Today's World

This essential session tackles the crucial question: are we truly building the internal strength our children need to thrive in a challenging world? We will unlock the powerful connection between a child's security, self-worth, and their ability to confidently face life's toughest challenges, establishing that self-esteem is the true basis of resilience.

Children develop a secure, positive identity when they experience consistent love, validation, and respect. Attendees will learn practical strategies for cultivating this secure foundation, including how to build confidence by promoting curiosity and fostering a vital growth mindset where mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn and improve.

Discover how to create intrinsic motivation by praising effort over outcome, avoiding limiting labels, and encouraging true independence through decision-making and safe, guided risk-taking. Leave this session equipped with the tools to shape your child's inner voice into one that is kind, empowering, and respectful.

    Excellent insightful information. I fully agree. They need to try and achieve unknown things. I like the way you help create their challenges by saying how would you climb a tree etc. Well done thank you

  2. Heather McCarthy says:

    Thanks, Sylvia, for the wonderful presentation, so good to see and hear you share your life experiences with us and your knowledge of the child and the families also. I appreciate that we give us skill to learn what to say and how to phrase our language.

    Thank you for your presentation. Thank you for giving alternatives to what to say instead of “Be careful”, “You are so smart”, etc.
