RESILIENCE: Embracing
the Emotional Journey
BY DR. DEBORAH MACNAMARA

Stress seems to lie around every corner. It is there when change happens to us or when we are up against the things we cannot change. From the losses that are part of life to our unmet needs, how were we meant to find a way through?

Gordon Neufeld defines resilience as the “capacity to return to optimal functioning after stress or to thrive under duress.” (1) While we can’t avoid the ups and downs in life, we can harness the body’s natural way of healing and bounce back. The question is how do we do this and how do we set our children up to do the same?

The key is to resilience is to realize that it cannot be found by “pitting our head against our heart,” as Neufeld states. It has always been our hearts that hold the secrets to healing. The problem is we have gotten lost in thinking that the mind holds all the answers when we are faced with problems. We lose sight that adversity will take us on an emotional journey and our feelings need to take the wheel in helping us find a way through. ... READ THE REST OF DEBORAH'S EDITORIAL →

UPCOMING WEBINAR
THE PRESCHOOLER PERSONALITY
(for parents of toddlers to kindergarteners)
OFFERED BY DR. DEBORAH MACNAMARA

WEDNESDAY, MAY 29TH
12:00 - 1:30 PM PACIFIC | $25
Registration closes on May 28th

Young kids are some of the most misunderstood people around. They routinely defy logic and can baffle adults who care for them. They can go from 0 to 60 in a matter of minutes and are well known for their impulsive and egocentric ways. The secret to raising them is to realize their behaviour isn’t personal, but developmental, and to work at creating the conditions so they can grow up. Deborah will address the unique personality of the preschooler and why a young child's immaturity is a test to the maturity in their adults. 

This webinar will cover the most challenging and humorous behaviours with the hope that it leaves you feeling more patient and compassionate for these little people in your life.

It is very easy to participate in our 90-minute online webinars. No special software or technical equipment is required, only a high-speed internet connection. Each participant is able to see the presenter and can ask questions in a live chat.
