We talk a lot about building resilience into kids in our offices. It felt timely and important to share a conversation with our friend, Rebekah Lyons, about her new book, Building a Resilient Life: How Adversity Awakens Strength, Hope, and Meaning. We talked about turning toward anxiety and not away from it, and even what that looks like in the context of parenting. We also talked about moving kids toward meaning and purpose, something we’ve seen bring about tremendous growth and change.. . . . .If you enjoyed this episode, go back and listen to Episode 34 with Rebekah and her husband, Gabe, on Parenting with Unconditional Love.Get a free chapter and order Rebekah's new book on her website.Sissy mentioned the Prayer of Teilhard de Chardin which you can read here.. . . . .A special thank-you to our sponsors:Jesus Revolution Movie - Gather your friends and family for a movie night to enjoy this incredible move, available now on demand, digital, Blu-Ray and DVD!Sundays - Go to SundaysForDogs.com/RBG or use code RBG at checkout to get 35% off your first order.Hiya Health - Go to hiyahealth.com/RBG and receive 50% off your first order!. . . . .Sign up to receive the RBG monthly newsletter to keep up to date with where David and Sissy are speaking, where they are taco'ing, PLUS conversation starters for you and your family to share! Pre-Order the Worry-Free Parent by Sissy!Find us on YouTube!Download a copy of the Raising Boys and Girls Feelings ChartConnect with David, Sissy, and Melissa at raisingboysandgirls.com.
