When something goes wrong, does your teen bounce back or fall apart?
When you have resilience, you harness the inner strength that helps you rebound from a setback or challenge, such as a failed exam, an illness, a disaster or a failed relationship. Those who lack resilience, might dwell on problems, feel victimised, become overwhelmed or turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as substance abuse, eating disorders or risky behaviours.
Resilience will not make your problems go away, but resilience can give you the ability to see past them, find enjoyment in life and better manage your stress level. If you find that your teen is not as resilient as you would like him/her to be, you can help develop skills to nurture resiliency in him/her.
Thanks to decades of rigorous and ongoing scientific research, the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program® is regarded as one of the world’s most effective parenting programmes. Triple P is ranked by the United Nations as the #1 researched and evidenced parenting programme in the world. Triple P works for most families across cultures, countries and family situations. The Ministry of Social and Family Development has found that parents who attended Triple P are more confident in their parenting, have lowered parenting stress and reduced behavioural problems in children (Source).
Triple P gives parents simple and practical strategies to help you confidently manage your children’s behaviour, prevent problems developing and build strong, healthy relationships within the family.
