Summary
If we don’t have the parenting tools to remain calm in stressful situations, we will default into panic mode. How we can we keep our cool and make the right call when everything goes wrong?
Holly and Chris Santillo return to The Dad Edge today! They are both blackbelt Kempo karate instructors and the authors of Resilience Parenting: Raising Resilient Children in an Era of Detachment and Dependence. They share the strategies they use to lead their family through the unexpected and remain flexible when operating out of their comfort zone.
We have never needed to be more resilient than right now. After this episode, you will know how to navigate through uncertainty so your kids can learn how too.
