Resilience Webinar

Resilience - Developing strength, calm, and kindness in our kids

“How can I help my child be more resilient?” is a question Dr Justin Coulson often hears from worried mums and dads.

In this session, parents will learn the psychological secrets that build their child’s sense of identity, strengths, and growth mindset in order to perform better, be happier, and build resilience.

Based on Dr Justin Coulson’s best-selling book 9 Ways to a Resilient Child, this session shows parents how to help their children cope powerfully and positively with the challenges that life throws at them. This presentation is one of Justin’s most popular ones, with powerful stories and illustrations that every parent can relate to. He explains the factors that help and hinder resilience, why common advice such as “toughen up, Princess” just doesn’t work, and how competition and praise may undermine resilience.

This online event for Australian schools was held on Tuesday 14 May. You can access a recording of the webinar by logging into the EHPS Happy Families portal; details in your Compass News Feed.

Our school is subscribed to the Happy Families School Membership (replacing the Parenting Ideas membership)! Owned and run by Dr Justin Coulson, one of Australia’s leading parenting experts, the membership offers a wealth of parenting education and resources. Resources will be shared regularly including Insights Articles and Live Webinars, Q&As with Dr Justin, and other resources.
