{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Raising Resilient Kids in the Age of Information","description":"**Raising Resilient Kids in the Age of Information** brought together an honest conversation hosted by Lily Walla on what it means to raise confident kids while navigating constant advice, comparison, and uncertainty. Across the discussion, **Dr. Becky Kennedy**, **Emily Oster**, **Jess Jacobs**, and **Anushka Salinas** shared practical ways to stay grounded, support kids through hard moments, and trust ourselves more along the way.\n\n \n\n **Gifts from us to you**\n\n* [**ParentData**:](https://parentdata.org/register/plus/?coupon=auggie2026) Use code **AUGGIE2026** for **one free month of ParentData**\n* [**Coterie**](https://www.coterie.com//?utm_source=Auggie\\&utm_medium=newsletter\\&utm_campaign=auggie2026): Use code **AUGGIE2026** for **20% off your order of $50+** (valid for new customers on subscriptions or one-time purchases) \n* [**ergoPouch**](https://ergopouchus.pxf.io/WO4OXn): **Mid-Season Sale** going on now through 4/16!\n* [**Good Inside**](https://bit.ly/GoodInside_Auggie_April_2026): Use code **AUGGIE3RSVP** for **3 free months.**\n\n \n\n**What resilience really looks like**\n\n* Resilience is not a child staying calm all the time. It often looks messy, emotional, and inconvenient in the moment.\n* Resilience is the ability to cope with disappointment, jealousy, anger, frustration, and other hard feelings.\n* Supported struggle helps kids build the capacity to move through challenges.\n* Sometimes the goal is not removing the hard thing, but helping a child feel less alone in it.\n\n \n\n**What helps kids feel steady at home**\n\n* A stable home life can be deeply protective when kids face hard things outside the home.\n* Feeling safe, loved, and believed at home gives children a foundation to return to.\n* Simple responses matter: *I’m glad you told me. I believe you. Tell me more.*\n* Presence often matters more than having the perfect response.\n\n \n\n**How to handle information overload**\n\n* The issue is not information itself, but constant exposure before it is relevant.\n* Parents benefit from focusing only on the decisions that actually need attention right now.\n* Data is most useful when it answers a question you already have, not when it creates new anxiety.\n* Information should support parent instincts, not replace them.\n\n \n\n**The power of everyday moments**\n\n* Emotional tone matters as much as routines in shaping a child’s sense of safety.\n* Small everyday moments often become resilience-building opportunities.\n* Flexibility, connection, and even mundane errands can help kids build confidence.\n* Parents caring for themselves helps them show up with more patience and presence.\n\n \n\n**Parents are building resilience too**\n\n* Raising resilient kids does not require parents to be perfectly resilient themselves.\n* Growth is happening for parents and children at the same time.\n* Modeling honesty and emotional openness helps normalize hard days.\n* As Dr. Becky reminded us: *This feels hard because it is hard, not because you are doing something wrong.*\n\n \n\n**Special thank you to our partners** [**Strider**](https://striderbikes.sjv.io/6kkZEm) and [**ergoPouch**](https://ergopouchus.pxf.io/WO4OXn) for helping bring this conversation to life.
