Recently, a client reached out because her children were feeling nervous about the upcoming school year. There were a couple of big transitions happening for the kids, including a new grade for one and a new school for another, and she wanted to know how to support them in being successful. While some of the strategies we discussed were customized to her family’s circumstances, goals, and specific concerns; her children’s ages, temperaments and characteristics; and the other information that she’s shared over our time together; the one that really resonated for both of us was the notion of developing their overall resilience so they would be prepared for more of life’s uncertainties – because we know that, in life, the only constant is change.
