How to Be Resilient - HOW TO TEACH RESILIENCE

 When your child fails. 

BIBLE PRINCIPLE:  "The righteous one may fall seven times, and he will get up again." - PROVERBS 24:16. 

Help your child put things in perspective.  For example, what would he do if he failed  a test at school? He might give up, saying,  "I can't do anything right!"

To teach resilience, help your child work out a strategy that will help him improve.  In thisway, he will take charge of the problem than become a victime of it.

At the same time, avoid fixing the problem for your child.  Instead, help him create his own plan. You might ask him, "What can you do to improve your understanding of the subject you just failed that is being taught?"
