Deep dives
Creating Resilient Kids through Connected Parenting
Connected parenting involves allowing children to face challenges and frustrations rather than constantly saving them. By providing support without rescuing, children learn resilience and problem-solving skills. This approach values validating and empathizing with children's feelings instead of dismissing them, fostering emotional growth and self-reliance.
Encouraging Risk-Taking and Self-Reliance in Children
Connected parents support children in taking age-appropriate risks, fostering independence and self-efficacy. Allowing children to experience manageable failures helps them develop skills to recover and learn. By providing a safe space for children to explore challenges, parents encourage growth and self-trust, essential for building resilience.
Modeling Moral Behavior and Encouraging Independence
In connected parenting, parents lead by example with unconditional love and avoid using manipulative or punitive tactics. By promoting internal validation over constant praise, children learn to rely on themselves for affirmation. Encouraging children to contribute to household responsibilities fosters self-sufficiency and prepares them for adulthood by building skills and independence.
Many parents often ask me for advice on how to help their children become more resilient and self-reliant. However, today, I am going to share a few things that parents should avoid doing to help their children thrive in the face of adversity. These include not rushing to their children's rescue when facing frustration and not dismissing their children's emotions. By adopting a nurturing approach that balances support and autonomy, connected parents can encourage their children's self-reliance and responsibility. In this way, we can help our children develop resilience from within.
