Building Kids' Emotional Resilience

Emotional resilience is an important part of staying healthy and happy. You can help your kids develop the skills they need to stay strong, even in the face of difficult situations.

It is not your job to try to prevent your kids from experiencing challenging situations and disappointments. Difficult times actually help your kids develop their emotional resilience.

Difficulties teach your kids they can handle feeling sad, angry or afraid. You can help them understand that all emotions are a part of life and there's nothing wrong with having them. Let them know that it's normal to feel these things, but it's important not to act on those feelings in harmful ways.
