Regulating Anxiety & Uncertainty
Learning to Become Resilient
Learning to Become Resilient
If our good sons are going to be able to successfully handle the challenges of the adult world, they’ll need to become more skillful at controlling their thoughts, emotions and behaviors.
Our sons need to know how to handle the parts of life that are unfair, uncomfortable and uncertain. As they develop the ability to regulate themselves moment to moment, they naturally develop more respect and trust of themselves.
This course will show your son how to:
1) calm his mind in 15 seconds using a mindfulness technique
2) control his reactions to stress
3) manifest a more relaxed and happy future
Once your son knows how to remain calm when dealing with stress and frustration, he’ll be able to be mindful and productive.
