Teach children about resilience and selfregulation from "summary" of The Danish Way of Parenting by Jessica Joelle Alexander,Iben Sandahl
One of the key aspects of Danish parenting is the emphasis on teaching children about resilience and self-regulation. This means helping children develop the ability to bounce back from challenges and setbacks, as well as the skills to manage their emotions and behavior effectively. Resilience is the ability to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity. By teaching children how to be resilient, parents can help them develop a positive attitude towards challenges and failures. Instead of being discouraged by setbacks, resilient children see them as opportunities for growth and learning. Self-regulation, on the other hand, refers to the ability to manage one's emotions and behavior in different situations. Children who are taught self-regulation are better equipped to handle stress, control their impulses, and make thoughtful decisions. This skill is crucial for success in school, relationships, and life in general. One way parents can teach resilience and self-regulation is by allowing their children to experience failure and disappointment. Instead of always swooping in to fix problems for their children, Danish parents give them the space to struggle and learn from their mistakes. This helps children develop a sense of autonomy and confidence in their abilities. Another important aspect of teaching resilience and self-regulation is modeling these behaviors themselves. Children learn best by example, so parents who demonstrate resilience in the face of challenges and regulate their own emotions effectively are more likely to raise resilient and self-regulated children. In Danish parenting, the focus is not on shielding children from difficulties, but on equipping them with the skills and mindset to navigate life's ups and downs. By teaching children about resilience and self-regulation, parents can help them develop the tools they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
