206 - Emotional Resiliency for Kids!

Are your kids emotionally resilient? Do they bounce back after they experience the big - and little - setbacks in life?

Kids who are emotionally resilient perform better academically and socially - and that's what we're talking about in today's show. My guest is Rachel Robertson, director of education and development for Bright Horizons Family Solutions. Rachel is a nationally recognized expert in child behavior management and early childhood education and brings a wealth of knowledge to parents of kids of varying ages.

In today's show we'll talk about:

• What does emotional resiliency look like?
• The impact of being a helecopter parent
• Signs to tell if your child is struggling with emotional resiliency
• Why optimism is such an important trait in kids
• How teaching kids to "transition" from task to task is vital
• Red flag scenarios that challenge resiliency
• Speicial needs of military families
• The importance of parental modeling

It's a great topic for kids of all ages. I hope you stick around!
