YOUR DAUGHTER’S RESILIENCE…

The way you look at her.

Believe in her…

shapes her skill to bounce back from whatever happens to her in life.  

Whether you see her mistakes, struggles, or making the “wrong” choices as a reason to worry, to fear, that she won’t be able to recover from this one.

Because this one is just “too big” or “too bad.” 

And when you don’t believe in your daughter’s resilience, the world becomes a scary place. 

Like walking on a tight-rope high off the ground… with every mistake being an opportunity to fall too far below.

And because her eyes are programmed and wired to look to yours for feedback,

too often then SHE stops believing in her resilience as well.

And becomes scared to make mistakes…

Because that one bad grade, or that one team or club she didn’t make, or that one opportunity she missed out on… in her mind might bring with it the possibility to ruin her life.

And it becomes very hard to live this way.

So to help free her up from this immense weight, Moms may have to do the work first and lead her way.

Because our daughters are wired to explore, to grow from each mistake.

Just as a toddler who is learning to walk can’t possibly build up enough strength without falling down over and over again - each time doing squats to get back up, building up her muscle strength.

It’s the exact same with our daughters.

Every mistake is an opportunity for learning, growth, and insight...

Which she wouldn’t get any other way.

So as Moms we help them, coach them, guide them…

but ultimately BELIEVE in her resilience,

and let her carve out her own way.
