Raising Resilient Children

Episode Summary

I love the scripture, “Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.” (Psalm 127:3). In this regard, if you are fortunate to have children or play a special part in the life of children, you may find this reflective and informative discussion on resiliency as it relates to children and parenting helpful. Peter Capper (Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, AAMFT) joins in this discussion to provide his insight. Peter has worked with children and families for many years and has studied resiliency over his career. Note, this podcast does include comments about mental health and suicide in the context of the discussion, in case these topics may be personally triggering.
