Growing Resiliency

I am reading to be a better parent and am discovering that I have lost some resiliency of my own. Here’s to recovering it. ​

“[People] who manage their feelings well have emotional resiliency. They won’t be afraid to laugh and cry with people. Depression, stress, and anxiety won’t overwhelm them typically or last as long. They won’t all ow themselves to be defined by negative experiences or interactions. Resiliency is strong protection against mental health struggles.”
