Life is hard - and our kids know it. They're fast learners and highly attuned to life's challenges. By around eight years of age, most children have developed their own habitual way of reacting to stress. So how do we help today's children be more resilient? Tim Curtis is a leading international resilience expert, co-author of the bestseller The Resilience Shield, former Special Forces officer, crisis management executive and father of three. Through decades of resilience-based work and rigorous, peer-reviewed research into the Resilience Shield model, he understands the strategies required to inoculate our kids against stress, anxiety and depression. In Building Resilient Kids, Tim presents the latest thinking from leading childhood professionals, groundbreaking resilience research and the wisdom of lived experience. This book will arm you with the knowledge and techniques to help your kids grow into kind and happy young adults, capable of confidently confronting adversity while being highly functional, contributing members of society.
