Raising Resilient Children by Drs.
Robert Brooks and Sam Goldstein presents a parenting model
based upon the research proven framework of fostering
resilience and hope in children. In their work, Drs. Brooks
and Goldstein draw upon over fifty years of experience
and the publication of fifteen texts, numerous scientific
articles and their contact with thousands upon thousands
of parents in clinical practice and workshops. Experience
confirms their opinion that the concept of resilience
must take center stage in the process of raising our children.
Yet their experience also reflects that many well-meaning,
loving parents either do not understand those parental
practices that contribute to raising a resilient child
or do not use what they know. For Drs. Brooks and Goldstein
the concept of resilience defines a process of parenting
- a process that is essential if we are to prepare our
children for success in all areas of their future lives.
Given this process the guiding principles in all interactions
with children should be to strengthen their ability to
be resilient and to meet life’s challenges with thoughtfulness,
confidence, purpose, hope and empathy. The Table of
