Connection and Resilience: What's the Link?
Join all five of the Tales from the Toolbox Team, Lara, Kelly, Stacy, Belynda and Alice, for a long-awaited conversation on how connection can change the world! They share how we can build resilience in ourselves and our children, how to define connection and what it looks like in their lives. They also take a bit of a tangent to discuss the idea that as parents we are raising adults, not just managing children.
If you want to learn about why defining connection is so tricky, and what it actually is, so that you can build more of it into your life, this is the episode for you.
You’ll hear more about:
What connection is and why it’s a great idea to raise kids with this as a prime focus, rather than taking a more behaviourist approach.
How old each host's children were when they started using the Hand in Hand Parenting tools
How we keep learning new things about ourselves and our kids in every stage
Disrespect - and why it doesn’t mean what we often think it means
Why we might really want compliance but we need to keep working on ourselves to hold the bigger aims in mind!
This is a long game - we are raising adults - so we keep returning to the outcomes we want for them
Why support for us is vital as it helps us choose connection rather than getting stuck into the power struggles
A bit of a philosophical rampage about connection.
