Building Resiliency in Children: A Strong Family Project Podcast Discussion

In this episode of the Strong Family Project Podcast, hosts Joe and Mell explore the widely held belief that today's children lack resilience. They discuss the role of media and societal values in shaping this perception and express concern over 'outcome-based' mindsets that can hinder children's growth. The pair gives examples from their own parenting experiences to showcase the importance of teaching children responsibility, independence, and critical thinking. Furthermore, they introduce the idea of creating a timeline of age-appropriate milestones that children should achieve towards becoming independent adults. They emphasize the importance of resisting the urge to provide too much support in the form of a constant connection via cell phones.
