Last summer, my family and I were away in Naramata, in the beautiful interior of B.C. This quaint town has just one block of shops,

Alcuin College approached Sharon Selby to present on the topic of building resilience in our children. We wanted to have our parents better understand how to support their children as they transition into independent learners. Sharon has a wealth of knowledge that she translates into practical techniques parents can depend on to help their children through the inherent challenges of childhood. She shares how to create an environment that facilitates connection between you and your child along with opportunities to build the skills necessary to independently regulate emotions and problem solve. I would highly recommend Sharon Selby for any organization hoping to build a better understanding in the areas of self-regulation, resilience, and child anxiety. Her presentation is an informative, concrete hour that will impact how you view the realities of childhood today and the tools that you can use to reduce their negative impact.

Dear Sharon, My 11 year old daughter, who initially did not want to go to your group, has absolutely loved taking your group. She looks forward to each week and can hardly wait! She’s begging me to take another one. Thank you for all that you do for our children. It’s been a great journey for both of us and I have learned so much too!

A few encouraging things in the last few days that I thought I’d share. Yesterday, our son managed to enter a men’s washroom at the beach by himself, which is the first time he has done so. He was initially very reluctant, but we used the language you’ve taught him. Yay! Tonight we talked about going to school tomorrow to practice using and flushing the toilets there, armed with several of the strategies you have taught him. His enthusiasm about the fact that he could see the value of something you taught him seems so important – not only does it show his receptiveness but it shows me that he feels ‘helpable’. This is a big change from before when he stated clearly that he didn’t think anyone could help him with his fears.
