Helping your children develop the resilience to handle life's inevitable setbacks is the key to raising them into happy and successful adults, says Dr. Tovah Klein.
The truth is, "it's much more dynamic," says Klein, a child psychologist, author and director of the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development.
"What children learn is, 'Oh, we can come apart, we can come back together, and it actually builds trust," Klein says.
Once children feel comfortable talking about their emotions, parents can help them learn to regulate those feelings.
