Every parent wants to support their child through life's ups and downs with confidence and effective tools. Yet, when anxiety takes hold, it can feel overwhelming and difficult to know how to help. Building resilience in kids and teens is not about eliminating anxiety but about teaching them to transform stress and challenges into opportunities for growth. The Center for Psychological and Educational Assessment offers a live virtual workshop designed to equip parents, teachers, and caregivers with practical strategies to foster resilience in young people.

Why Resilience Matters More Than Ever
Children and teens today face unprecedented pressures—from academic demands to social challenges and global uncertainties. Anxiety can easily take over, making it hard for them to bounce back from setbacks. Resilience helps children develop grit, confidence, and coping skills that last a lifetime. It prepares them to face difficulties without losing hope or motivation.
This workshop addresses the root causes of anxiety and low confidence, offering research-based techniques that help children:
Understand and manage their stress
Build perseverance through challenges
Increase their self-worth and confidence
Develop lifelong coping skills
What You Will Learn in the Workshop
Led by Emiliya Adelson, PhD, a psychologist with extensive experience in child and adolescent therapy and school psychology, this session provides actionable tools for parents and caregivers. The workshop covers five key areas:
1. Anxiety Transformation Techniques
Instead of trying to make anxiety disappear, parents will learn how to help children transform anxious feelings into manageable experiences. This approach focuses on understanding what holds kids back and teaching them to face fears with new strategies.
2. Research-Based Keys to Resilience
Participants will explore proven factors that contribute to resilience, such as emotional regulation, positive relationships, and problem-solving skills. These keys help children recover quickly when life gets tough.
3. Building Grit and Perseverance
The workshop offers ways to encourage persistence in children, helping them stay motivated even when challenges seem overwhelming. This includes setting realistic goals and celebrating small successes.
4. Boosting Self-Worth and Confidence
Parents will discover how to nurture a child’s sense of value and capability. This foundation prepares kids to take on new experiences and challenges with a positive mindset.
5. Teaching Practical Coping Skills
The session provides tools that children can use throughout their lives to manage stress, solve problems, and maintain emotional balance. These skills support mental health well into adulthood.
