The Secret to Raising Strong, Resilient Kids in Today's World | Parenting Great Kids Ep. 219

Many parents' attempts at protecting and shielding their kids from discomfort are backfiring-instead of building resilience, children have become more dependent and fearful of facing challenges. That's why childhood resiliency expert Dr. Jonathan DePierro joined the podcast to share practical tips for teaching kids how to navigate a world that can be both dangerous and frightening.
Dr. Jonathan DePierro is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Icon School of Medicine, Mount Sinai, and the Associate Director of Mount Sinai's Center for Stress, Resilience, and Personal Growth.
As a survivor of childhood bullying and his extensive expertise in the field, Dr. DePierro understands the importance of building resilience in children. With a focus on the role of role models, social support, and maintaining an optimistic outlook, Dr. DePierro provides valuable insights on how to help children develop resilience skills to overcome life's challenges.
In this episode, you will learn how to:
✅ Develop resilience in your children by implementing practical strategies.
✅ Discover the importance of social support in building resilience.
✅ Foster curiosity in your children to strengthen their resilience skills.
✅ Address mental health misconceptions to support your child's resilience journey.
