In my last blog post (available here), I discussed the idea that resilience is something that can be developed. I challenged the idea we often hear that ‘children are resilient’.

When I interviewed the parent(s), guess what they said?

Yep, you guessed it.

‘I/We talked to them about it’ or ‘I/We told them about it’.

If you and your kids are excited, full of adventurous plans and taking it all in your stride, that's great! I'm really happy for you!
