About this Seminar:
C.S. Lewis said, “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.” As parents, we have an instinct to protect our children from hardship, failure, and other difficult feelings and life experiences. It is hard for us to tolerate the idea of our children ‘suffering’ or being disappointed by failure. But when we are constantly protecting them, we are not allowing them to develop the resilience needed for a successful life.
Parents attending this seminar will:
- Gain an awareness of their own relationship with failure and how it influences their children.
- Learn how to reframe and relate to failure and adversity.
- Gain insight into to how to shift their mindset about failure, resulting in the whole family being able to step into their courage.
