125. Resiliency #7: Conversations Are Necessary

Parents need to be available to their kids to have meaningful conversations. As parents, we must characterize resilience and be role models for our kids when it comes to resilience. As a parent, you must feel your kids' pain and acknowledge their real frustration before you try to help. It is vital for parents to know that as they try to help, they must try not to hijack the conversation and make it about them. To get kids to feel safe and keep the conversation going, we must encourage them to keep talking and to tell us more.
