MP 078 : Raising Resilient Kids

Messy Family Podcast : Catholic Conversations on Marriage and Family - A podcast by Mike and Alicia Hernon : Catholic Marriage Parent and Family - Mondays

“Life is pain, your highness. And anyone who tells you differently is selling something.” – The Princess Bride Children today are less able to deal with failure, rejection, and pain than ever before. As parents, we hate to see our children suffer, but how do we prepare them for real life? How do we help to make them strong, but flexible at the same time? In this podcast, we discuss how hard it is to see our precious children struggle, and we point out the pitfalls that we parents can easily fall into. We also give three principles you can implement in your parenting to help form resilient kids.
