Resilience Skills for Children and Caregivers

We all hope for our children to meet the challenges of life with resilience and inner strength. This 6-week class for parents and children will help kids ages 7-11 develop resilience skills, including self-compassion, to manage those ups and downs.

Self-compassion might sound soft, but it is a powerful tool for supporting a child’s emotion regulation. Studies have shown self-compassion is associated with lower levels of depression and anxiety, improved coping skills, and improvements in emotional well-being for both parents and children.

This fun and playful 6-week, live-online class, created by Jamie Lynn Tatera, is an adaptation of the Mindful Self-Compassion training for adults. It incorporates engaging activities and metaphors to help children learn how to recognize their emotions, begin to soothe themselves, and develop a kind and compassionate inner voice that will help them do hard things without being so hard on themselves. And, it provides parents and children an opportunity to forge a deeper connection.

I am currently making plans to offer this class again, starting at the end of May or beginning of June 2025.

Contact me to let me know if you’re interested in participating!
