SUMMARY: Dr John Irvine & Panel

“Emotional wellbeing is important in survival, jobs and success and happiness in life.”

Resilient Families:

Cultivating inner strength within our children
These are a few of the ideas discussed on the night:
Thank you to our panel members:

1. We can give children the tools required to go from
​     anxiety to mindfulness rather than going into panic.

2. Families can create an environment in the home that
     is supportive and healthy.

PERMA = Aspects of Wellbeing
3. Partnerships create connectedness (between home –  school – communities).
      LINK: Linking home and school
​
4.  Resiliency is for everyone, not just those in need. Life will include challenges
      for everyone over time.
5.  As parents, advocacy alone is not enough; we also need to role-model and give
      permission for your child / family to  adopt positive resilient behaviours and
      opportunities to develop skills. ​
      While ‘permission’ general refers to empowering your child, it also includes
      setting  boundaries around behaviours that could undermine their wellbeing
      (e.g. prolonged screen time, bedtimes etc.)
