I am honored and blessed to have the opportunity to open our doors to our community to learn from her together." Mr. Jeremy Woody - Principal: RCS -RESILIENCY: A NECESSARY ABILITY FOR TODAY’S TIMESChildren who are resilient bounce back quickly from difficulties and disappointments. Resiliency starts as a choice and can become a part of who they are. It must! Children who are not resilient will be forever defined by trauma and stress. They’ll be pessimistic; stuck in their anger and grief; and give up quickly on God, themselves, and others. When they’re resilient, they’ll use effort, learn new skills, and be effective problem solvers. Dr. Kathy will help you parent so your children develop this quality. Her practical techniques work and you will be able to create an environment that makes resiliency more likely. You and your children must recover from trauma and stress!
