Resilience Habits for Parents
Life can be hard. Difficult things happen. And depending on our internal and external resources, we either bounce back or become depleted. Resilience habits build a mindset that can help us bounce back when things get tough.
What are resilience habits?
A resilience habit is something that we do over and over again to build mental and emotional wellbeing. In this course, you will learn five resilience skills that parents and children need to build a resilient mind. These resources include mindfulness, self-compassion and growing the good.
Your family’s resilience begins with you! Build your own resilience and self-compassion skills to create a foundation that you can share with youth.*
In this six-week class, participants will learn:
Strategies to help yourself deal skillfully with stress, anxiety and other difficult emotions- Practices to increase acceptance, compassion and connection
- Mindfulness techniques to increase present moment awareness and peace
- Self-compassion practices to encourage self-kindness
- Skills to cultivate happiness, gratitude and well-being
- A framework for growing your own resilience that can be used to help kids build resilience habits
This class is taught by Jamie Lynn Tatera, a certified Mindful Self-Compassion instructor and the creator and teacher trainer of the Mindfulness and Self-Compassion for Children and Caregivers (MSC-CC) Program. Resilience Habits for Caregivers is based on Jamie Lynn’s Path to Resilience training and incorporates playful metaphors and tips from the MSC-CC program.
*Note: Even though I am using the words, “parents and families,” this course is also for educators, clinicians, and anyone who works with children.
