When your child comes to you with a problem, it’s tempting to tell them, “Oh, don’t worry about it.”

But learning how to cope with anxiety and worry is a key part or resiliency, Taryn Marie Stejskal, founder, the founder of the Resilience Leadership Institute and author of “The 5 Practices of Highly Resilient People: Why Some Flourish When Others Fold” wrote for CNBC Make It.

She advises parents put aside some time for “worry sessions.”

“Set a timer for five minutes and ask your child to worry about every aspect of their concern,” she says. “They can even write down all their anxieties. Then, once the period is over, ask them to release the worries and no longer think about them.”

Sometimes, rushing to recover after experiencing stressful situations can make things worse, notes Taryn Marie Stejskal, Ph.D., founder of the Resilience Leadership Institute (resilience-leadership.com) author of The 5 Practices of Highly Resilient People. “We live in a culture where there’s such pressure on everyone to be OK that we’re at a funeral or have surgery on Friday, and we think it’s a big win to be in the office on Monday,” says Stejskal. “But we don’t bounce back; we bounce forward. Resilience is the ability to effectively face challenge, change and complexity— what I call the three C’s—in a way that ultimately enhances us, not diminishes us.”
