Welcome to Rearing Resilience!

Have you been trying to figure out the “right” way to parent since you conceived? Have you read 50 parenting books and you're still confused? It would make sense, you live in a world of information overload. Some say free-range, some say structure.  Connection is most important. You still need to discipline.  BUT don’t you dare use punishments. You can’t spank, remove privileges, use time-outs and don’t you dare yell. Don’t you know that damages the brain! You also must parent each and every individual child differently because, duh, they are all unique.  Oh yeah, don’t forget self-care too. Lastly if you are raising a child with trauma, anxiety, ADHD or any other diagnosis, forget everything you read, there is a whole different set of do’s and do not’s. Got it?

Ok…so what the heck are you supposed to do? You may be paralyzed and suffering from parenting information anxiety. It may feel easier for you to just hand over the iPad and call it a day. But now you feel guilty and can’t sleep. Maybe you're in over your head.

This is tough stuff! Plus you live in a world where parenting is a measurement of success. How well you do it is the benchmark for how awesome (or sucky) you are as a human being. How is a parent supposed to acquire solid, researched-based information that can actually help (and not make you feel like a terrible parent)?

Rearing Resilience to the rescue! Here we will offer you researched-based, experience-based and very real parenting information that you can feel free to take or leave. Because guess what…YOU are the expert in your own family and there is no “right” way to do it. Let’s rear some resilience!
