Resilience in Adversity
The past year has presented numerous challenges with remote schooling, canceled events, and lost time with loved ones. Despite these difficulties, it is crucial to shift the perspective from viewing these experiences as irreparable harm to recognizing them as opportunities for growth and resilience. Just like previous generations faced and thrived after hardships like the Depression and the Second World War, the current challenges can serve as valuable lessons and sources of strength for both parents and children.
Finding Strength in Struggles
Amidst the hardships of the pandemic, there have been valuable lessons learned and experiences gained. Families have spent more time together, reconnected with what truly matters, and strengthened their bonds through shared struggles. By reframing the narrative of loss into a narrative of growth and resilience, parents can help their children navigate challenges with a positive outlook and emerge stronger from adversities.

Reflection on Overcoming Challenges and Resilience in Children
“The last year has been rough. It’s not how any of us would have chosen for things to go. Remote schooling. Missed birthday parties. Cancelled trips. No unnecessary trips to the store, no concerts or games from the bleachers. Lost time with older loved ones—maybe even lost loved ones.”
