Wednesday's Words of Wisdom: How to Build Resilience and Self Confidence

Thought for the Day: Here's something for parents to think about. As the cartoon I just learned how to produce says, "Resilient people see mistakes as opportunities to learn how to correct them." We used to think that telling our children how smart they were helped build self confidence and resiliency. However, they often don't believe you, since they know you love them, they think you are simply prejudiced. However, it seems that encouraging children to be problem solvers is the key to resilience. Encourage them to take pride in their mistakes and how they resolved them. It may help you build greater self confidence as well. Click here to see the video:
