Raising Resilient Children Starts With Us

Rise & Shine 30:16

“Why can’t they just listen?” We’ve all thought it.

But what if the moment that frustrates you most… is actually an invitation to grow?

Momentum’s Director of Education and Evaluation, Dr. Ronit Ziv Kreger shares research on why praising effort builds braver, more resilient children and how adopting a beginner’s mindset can transform the way we parent.

Instead of: “She’s so smart.”
Try: “I see how hard you worked.”

Instead of: “They’re wrong.”
Try: “What can I learn here?”

This is what a growth mindset looks like in real life in our homes, in our relationships, in ourselves.

The Rise & Shine Podcast Series is made possible by the generous support of Bonnie Vozar of Chicago, Illinois. If you would like to sponsor an upcoming podcast, please email us at info@momentumunlimited.org
