In this episode, Lisa and Tovah discuss:
- The nuisance stressors your teen has to handle every day.
- Building resilience in the face of uncertainty.
- What it means to be a buffer for your child.
- Parenting styles that have been beneficial or harmful to building resiliency in teams.
- Why you have to work on yourself to build resiliency in your children and teens.
Key Takeaways:
- Stressors happen to your teen every single day. Helping them through these nuisance stressors will help them build the resilience to handle any stressor.
- As a child’s arousal to the stressor increases, the parent tunes in to the child to connect with them in what they need. Over time, your child will learn to manage that stress on their own because they know they are not alone.
- Holding healthy boundaries helps your children build resilience. Boundaries can come from a gentle place of care and communication and aren’t harmful. Children need their parents to make the hard decisions and hold those boundaries.
- Building resilience in your child begins with you.
“It’s so important that parents be forgiving of themselves because it is in this relationship that our teens learn how to succeed, however, you want to define success, and resilience is part of that success.” – Dr. Tovah Klein
