As we look at the topic of resilience as part of our theme GROW (grateful, resilient, optimistic, willing), we have learned some important lessons. One of the most important lessons so far is that resilience is something that can be learned. Resilience is not merely something you “sort of just have” or “don’t have,” but we can learn to develop it in ourselves. More importantly, resilience is something we can help our children learn and develop for themselves.
In my research about resilience, I came across a book titled “OptionB.” I am not in a position to recommend the book yet, as I have not read it its entirety, but I did come across a short promo video about the book that grabbed my attention. This short video is packed with some pretty powerful lessons.
