Are your kids emotionally resilient? Do they bounce back after they experience the big - and little - setbacks in life?
Kids who are emotionally resilient perform better academically and socially - and that's what we're talking about in today's show. My guest is Rachel Robertson, director of education and development for Bright Horizons Family Solutions. Rachel is a nationally recognized expert in child behavior management and early childhood education and brings a wealth of knowledge to parents of kids of varying ages.
In today's show we'll talk about:
- What does emotional resiliency look like?
- The impact of being a helecopter parent
- Signs to tell if your child is struggling with emotional resiliency
- Why optimism is such an important trait in kids
- How teaching kids to "transition" from task to task is vital
- Red flag scenarios that challenge resiliency

It's a great topic for kids of all ages. I hope you stick around!
