Raising Resilient Children Workshop
Raising Resilient Children
Presented by Dick O’Brien, MASc
Wednesday, February 9, 2005
at Parish Hall - Kemptville College
7:00 - 8:15 p.m.
School Councils, parents, and members of the community are cordially invited to attend a workshop on Raising Resilient Children. This workshop is being sponsored by the Upper Canada District School Board. There is no cost to attend the evening presentation.
This workshop will focus on assisting parents in preparing their children for the inevitable challenges and struggles they will face in their futures. Too often parents buffer their children from the reasonable and natural consequences of their own actions. Parents that over protect or rescue their children take away
the opportunity to develop a track record of success in dealing with the pitfalls of life. This often leaves a child without the self worth and problem solving skills necessary to function in society. This presentation encourages children to respond to life by choice rather than react to life by chance. It focuses on developing personal resiliency in our children as the survival strategy for the 21st century.
