How to Thrive By Building Resilience: A Guide for You and Your Child

by Belén del Amo Pérez de Lara

Resilience, the ability to adapt and sustain the best version of ourselves, should be deliberately developed as a way to thrive in today’s uncertain and rapidly changing world. Sadly, our educational systems are not yet equipped to teach resilience as thoughtfully or deliberately as they do maths and grammar. Until then, it falls on us parents to help our children develop this crucial life skill. Leveraging relevant research in neuroscience and positive psychology, and drawing on insights from the leadership advisory space, this book aims to develop resilient parents able to pass these skills down to their child. Introducing a pragmatic four-step process, and packed with straightforward, practical exercises for both adults and children, How to Thrive By Building A Guide for You and Your Child aims to create a space for reflection and the deliberate cultivation of resilience. Whether you believe success is your child becoming CEO, an actor, an athlete, or whether you believe they should carve their own path, this book will arm you with the tools to develop the mental agility your children will need to become the best version of themselves, whatever that may be.
