Challenges? Positive Perspectives for 2026

How do you and your children deal with challenges?

One tactic for surmounting obstacles is to think back upon difficult moments and to figure out how you transformed previous tense or tough circumstances into manageable or positive situations. It makes sense to reflect—and to take note of your thoughts. 

For instance, what kinds of strategies have worked in the past? Perhaps taking one or more breaks, or garnering support from friends or extended family, or using problem-solving methods that have proven to be successful. Once you become aware of your strengths and skills, you can develop and tap into them.
