I had such a great time sharing the 3 P’s of raising optimistic and resilient kids on Studio 10.
We have an important role to play as parents in raising kids who see challenges and difficult events through the lens of:
It’s not PERSONAL
It’s not PERMANENT and
It’s not PERVASIVE
These thinking skills help immunise kids against depression, reduce their likelihood of anxiety and even have a positive influence on physical health. Just another example of how, as parents, we can shape our kids’ thinking and bolster their mental health
