TIP 1977 – Start A Conversation

Work Smart Live Smart with Beverly Beuermann-King

Listen to today's podcast...

As parents we worry about assisting our children to become competent, capable and healthy adults. We are concerned about their self-esteem and their overall emotional health. We wish we had more time to spend with them. Today, where I am it is Family Day. It’s a day to sit down, talk, eat dinner and connect with your kids and other family members.

Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Family Day:

When caring on a conversation, constructively express both negative and positive feelings and thoughts – children learn how to cope and express themselves through us

Help your child to put a name to their feelings. Assist them to expand their vocabulary beyond using ‘happy’, ‘sad’ and ‘mad’. Help children to find positive ways of expressing difficult emotions

Challenge unrealistic expectations when they become interpreted as a self-failure or become expressed as frustration

Remind the child of the number of different people that they can go to in difficult situations

Teach children the importance of developing friendships and what it means to be a ‘good’ friend to someone else
