Resilience: The ability to handle life's ups and downs
Going through hard things is part of life. With Raising Resilience, you can give your child the tools they need to handle the ups and downs of life (and everything in between).
Prepare your child to cope with challenges, manage stress, and make healthy choices. Help them to be able to handle whatever comes their way. Teach them to be resilient.
Help them learn to tackle challenges head-on.
Learning from mistakes only makes them stronger.
We can’t control everything that happens, but we can prepare our kids for coping with challenges, managing stress and making safe, healthy choices. We can teach our kids, at any age, to be resilient in the face of life’s ups and downs.
A parent’s job isn’t to fix it. It’s to teach our kids how to work through challenges.
Building resilience is an ongoing journey, and knowing how to work through feelings is an important first step.
All kids are born with the capacity to become resilient, but they need our help along the way.

Healthy Habits
Nutrition –
When it comes to building a healthy relationship with food, the way we talk about nutrition can be just as important as offering healthy meals. You and your child can learn healthy food options at our culinary events.
Balance –
Having other hobbies or interests can help prevent your child from feeling as through their identity is solely defined by school or sports success. GCPL programs provide opportunities foe exploration and fun.
Benefits of Play –
Play is a natural way for children to explore and develop skills from problem-solving, cooperation, managing emotions, and communication. GCPL offers free programs that help your child to both play and learn.
