Tips on building a strong and resilient child

Part of building resilience is allowing your child to play outdoors at least one hour every day, doing things like playing on the monkey bar, as seen in this filepic.

The world we live in is one of constant evolution and change. As parents, wanting to protect our children from the ups and downs of life is normal. However, in order to prepare them for life as an adult, we need to raise them to be resilient.

This is crucial as it allows them to bounce back from failures and face any uncertainties with equanimity. Resilience is not an innate trait and much of it comes from external factors, starting with parents and caregivers.
