Another pearl from this amazing book that I am currently reading -- Building Resilience in Children and Teens: Giving Kids Roots and Wings. As I come across amazing tidbits, I am passing them along through my blog -- sort of like an e-book club. So here is today's pearl: The 7 Crucial C's of Resilience.
Each C has a dedicated chapter in the book. I highly recommend you check them out! Here's the list to peak your interest and get your wheels turning.
- Competence
- Confidence
- Connection
- Character
- Contribution
- Coping
- Control
And of course Dr. Ginsburg emphasizes that the 7 C's are not a LIST of needs but rather a WEB of needs. In his words, an intricately interwoven web are these 7 ingredients of resilience.
Take a moment to think of your parenting style. Are you nurturing the web of 7 C's in your children?
