Comments on: What Really Builds Resilience in Kids? (It’s Not What You Think) by Dr Nicole Carvill https://www.heysigmund.com/what-really-builds-resilience-in-kids-2/ Where the Science of Psychology Meets the Art of Being Human Sat, 30 Jan 2021 08:37:40 +0000 hourly 1 By: Veronika Y https://www.heysigmund.com/what-really-builds-resilience-in-kids-2/comment-page-1/#comment-673365 Sat, 30 Jan 2021 08:37:40 +0000 https://sigmundstaging.wpengine.com/what-really-builds-resilience-in-kids-2/#comment-673365 Thanks for the post, it really helped me realize a couple of things.

I think modern parents have higher expectations from their kids (I mean toddlers and preschoolers), so we should just let them enjoy childhood and happy moments. While we think their emotional intelligence is minimal, they express negative feelings more efficiently than adults. Sometimes crying and yelling is all it takes to feel better in a while.

I guess teens are the most stressed-out. Society demands them to act like adults but yet puts restrictions like on kids. They are so overwhelmed with school, physical and hormonal changes, conflicts with peers, and personality growth that we should give them double as much support.
