NICOLE WILKE | How to Make Our Kids Resilient (Ep. 740)

In this episode, we welcome Nicole Wilke to the show. She is a child welfare researcher, missionary, author, and marriage and family therapist. She currently serves as Director of the Center on Applied Research for Vulnerable Children and Families, bridging research and practice to improve faith-based care for vulnerable children and families around the globe. Nicole currently resides with her family in Peru where they work to improve the nationwide system for children in alternative care. In this interview, we discuss her early life experiences that led her to her current line of work and ministry, why we should focus on making our kids resilient as opposed to strong, the correct definition of resilience, how to delineate “trauma” from “normal stress”, why being a “snowplow parent” will cause your kids long-term issues, how we can infuse adversity into the lives of our kids, why successful people typically had rough upbringings, how the right kinds of relationships help us build resilience, and much more. Let’s get into it…
