Building resilience through positive parental language


The language we use as parents is powerful in developing and strengthening resilience in our children.

 

Instead of saying "It's okay to quit if it's hard," try "I believe in your ability to handle this challenge."

 

Swap "Don't cry" with "It's okay to feel upset; let's talk about it."

 

Encourage effort with "You worked really hard on this!" rather than "You're so smart."

 

By using words that validate emotions, emphasise effort, and promote problem-solving, we can help our children develop the resilience they need to face life's ups and downs with confidence and strength.
