47 - Angela Legh on Empowering Children to Deal with Adversity

In Episode 47, Angela Legh teaches us how to help children deal with adversity in their lives through her books. Learn about her story, her books, and strategies to empower children to deal with adversity in their lives. Children are learning, growing, and testing their boundaries throughout their childhood. At times this boundary testing can be very stressful for parents. Unfortunately, many parents are not equipped to deal with their children's emotional breakdowns. We weren't taught how to deal with our own emotions, much less the emotions of our children. When we provide our children with tools and techniques they can implement to smooth out the wrinkles in their daily life, they thrive. Children will not likely read self-help books, but they will read stories. By reading the Bella Santini Chronicles, your child will be better able to deal with the adversity of life. Angela learned from her father that men were people to fear, and that anger is bad. She learned from her mother how to love unconditionally. For the first 54 years of her life, Angela was bullied, first by her father, then by the man she married. In both stages of her life, a fire caused the family to break up. The first fire, when she was five, resulted in the children being sent away for months while her parents sought housing. The second fire, a disastrous California wildfire, caused Angela to question her choices in life; leave her marriage, and seek to find herself. Angela is now an author and self-development mentor. Her children's book series, The Bella Santini Chronicles, has received high praise and is known for helping children learn how to manage their emotions. Resources from the Interview 1.
