Calm, Courageous, and Connected: A Parent's Guide to Raising Emotionally Resilient Kids
Every parent wants to raise a courageous, confident kid who can handle whatever life throws at them.
But with anxiety on the rise for both kids and parents, it can feel overwhelming to know where to begin. Calm, Courageous, and Connected is an easy-to-read guide that offers practical strategies to nurture emotional resilience in children, from preschoolers to preteens. Written by therapist and bestselling author Dr. Chinwé Williams, this book shows parents how to harness the power of connection to help their kids learn to manage big emotions—like anger, frustration, anxiety, and disappointment—so they can thrive at home, at school, and in their relationships.
As both a therapist and a parent, Dr. Chinwé understands how challenging parenting can be. With a blend of clinical expertise and compassionate, relatable advice, she offers evidence-based techniques grounded in the latest child development research and neuroscience. This is a resource you’ll return to again and again to find tools that will help your child feel more in control of their emotions and behaviors.
This book will help you:
- Build strong, nurturing connections to foster emotional resilience.
- Differentiate between typical childhood behaviors and those that may be problematic.
- Manage your own emotional triggers to stay calm and supportive.
- Support children in managing intense emotions so they can make brave, thoughtful choices.
- Respond effectively to an angry, anxious, neurodivergent, or perfectionist child.
- Help your child rewire their brain to safeguard against anxiety and depression.
Calm, Courageous, and Connected is a must-have resource for parents, educators, and anyone who wants to help kids develop the emotional resilience to face life’s challenges with confidence.
