Why It's Important
Resilience refers to the ability to handle
everyday stressors and recover from occasional
crises. Parents who are emotionally resilient
have a positive attitude, creatively problem
solve, effectively address challenges, and are
less likely to direct anger and frustration at
their children. In addition, these parents are
aware of their own challenges (for example,
those arising from inappropriate parenting they
received as children) and accept help and/or
support when needed. (Source: childwelfare.gov)
How to Build It
It is important to take good care of yourself so
you can take good care of your children. When
parents are facing stressors, it is hard to find
the wherewithal to effectively handle common
parenting challenges. Common stressors
include:
Money concerns;
Substance issues;
Divorce;
Domestic violence, or
Meeting the needs of a child with disabilities
The first step to building resiliency is to
recognize the little and big things that trigger
feelings of stress. Learning stress management
techniques, anticipating and planning ahead for
common difficulties, and using good family
communication practices are all helpful
techniques for building emotional strength and
resiliency. Finally, recognize when self-help
tactics could use reinforcement from outside
help, and find the resources that can provide it.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
FREE! Ages & Stages Developmental Screening Ages & Stages Questionnaires is a developmental screening tool parents can use for children ages 1 ½ months to 5 ½ years. The ASQ is an ongoing, family friendly screening tool to see if your child is on track in the areas of communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal- social development. Interested families will have an initial child screening and then rescreened yearly to ensure children are on track developmentally. ASQ is easy to use, identifies areas in need of practice, and celebrates early childhood milestones.
