#10 Raising Flexible Kids: Teaching Adaptability, Resilience, and Coping Skills for Life's Curveballs
When kids learn flexibility, they don’t just cope better with canceled playdates or changed routines, they build a skill that will serve them for life.
In this episode of What I Want My Kids to Know, we’ll talk about how to raise kids who can handle change with confidence, empathy, and resilience. I’ll share real-life strategies that work in everyday moments, from prepping kids for events to helping them process disappointment and even navigating big transitions, like a friend moving away.
You’ll learn how to:
Teach flexibility through everyday routines
Use “prep talks” to reduce meltdowns over change
Model language that helps kids adapt
Introduce “flexibility challenges” to strengthen resilience
Coach kids through big life transitions with empathy
Whether you’re tired of battles over small changes or want to prepare your child for the real world, this episode is full of practical tools you can start using today.
🎧 Listen now and help your child learn to bend without breaking.
