Jun 01, 2022

It’s safe to say that most people have struggled in some way or another during the pandemic. This is especially true for women who had to navigate leaving their jobs, childcare, and virtual schooling. With the war in Ukraine and not to mention inflation, there is no better time to have a guest on to talk about resiliency. If Covid-19 taught us anything, it’s that we must raise our children to be brave and adaptable because we never know what can happen in this world. In today's episode, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe and I talk about raising resilient children. She gives us some tips and tricks along the way from toddler through adulthood.

When children are resilient, they are braver, more curious, more adaptable, and able to extend their reach into the world. In the ever changing landscape of our world, it is crucial for children to develop their personal capacity for resiliency.

Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe is a multi-award-winning psychology and education instructor. She specializes in resiliency, navigating stress and change, leadership, and personal wellness in the workplace. Dr. Robyne has over 16 years of University teaching and research experience and brings a refreshing and researched informed perspective to our understanding and practices of resiliency and wellness. She resides in Ontario with her husband and three children.

In this episode we discuss:

What resilience is and what it looks like in children
Tips for raising resilient children at any age
How playing music in your house can create a positive impact on your child
Strategies to teach our children to deal with life’s stressors
