Episodes Notes

Parents want their children to grow up with the ability to face life, especially disappointments and risks, with confidence and bravery. Children who learn resiliency are less likely to give up, avoid risks and become overwhelmed with anxiety and depression.


Kathy Koch, PhD., is a child development specialist and author of six books, including RESILIENT KIDS: RAISING THEM TO EMBRACE LIFE WITH CONFIDENCE. She defines resiliency as “recovering readily from disappointment, failure, defeat, adversity, and trauma.” 


Today on Connections, Dr. Koch shares practical, relevant and faith-based insights and resources, reminding us there is “no shame or blame for yesterday and great hope for tomorrow.”
