When your child struggles, every instinct says to find the problem and fix it. But 99% of the time, that actually making things harder (sorry!)

Most of the world around us, from the medical model to many therapy rooms, takes a deficit approach: what’s wrong, what are the risks, how do we fix it. The Resilience Donut is the opposite. It’s a strengths-based approach that flips the usual advice on its head. Instead of pouring your energy into your child’s weakest area, you find what’s already working and build on it.

I unpack the 3 key messages every child needs to hear on the inside (they're much more simple than you think!) the 7 things around them that protect them when life gets hard, and why kids who think pessimistically can hold on to things that they brush off even your best encouragement.
