Teaching your children resilience (Part 2)

Monica Hinderer joins Doug to continue their discussion on how to teach children the virtue of resilience. They address the idea of the “perfect parent” sharing the impact of acknowledging our imperfections as parents, learning from mistakes, and modeling resilience and accountability for our children.

Listener questions and comments:

  • Maria – I’m a mother of a 2-year-old. The doctor said they want to do a test for autism because they saw some delays in development. How am I supposed to handle this? (17:30)
  • Kelly – What do you think about kids who are high functioning special needs and need to be protected more, in regards to resilience? He’s 19 years old. (23:56)
  • Chris – I have a 6-year-old daughter who gets upset easily. What is the best way to handle this? (27:52)
  • John – What helps with peace within the family is the Novena to the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Mother. (35:11)
  • Jeanie – I think that encouraging the 6-year-old to ignore her siblings is a bad idea. (38:51)
  • Mary – How should I approach a situation when I see a child’s caregiver raise them in an inappropriate way? (41:32)
