Are kids truly as resilient as we think? In this powerful episode, Julia Rose tackles a vital yet often misunderstood concept: Resilience in children. Uncover the myths, science, and strategies that every educator needs to know.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

🔥 The Myth of Inherent Resilience: Discover why the belief that children naturally "bounce back" from adversity can be misleading—and how it impacts the way we support them.

🧠 Stress: The Good, The Bad, and The Buffered: Learn the difference between stress that fosters resilience (predictable, moderate, supported) and stress that creates vulnerability (unpredictable, severe, prolonged).

🔬 The Science of Resilience: Insights from Dr. Bruce Perry on how environments and relationships shape a child’s brain, mental health, and capacity for resilience.

💡 Actionable Strategies for Educators: Identify signs of vulnerability in your students and gain tools to foster resilience through thoughtful, predictable, and supportive interactions.

🤝 The Power of Relationships: Understand why safe, supportive adults are the ultimate buffer against toxic stress—and how you can be that adult.

🌱 Hope Through Neuroplasticity: A reassuring reminder that it’s never too late to develop resilience—no matter your age or background.
