Joe De Sena has embraced a life of challenges and struggles. He believes that the way we respond to difficult situations defines us and our children. The only tools we need to cope with what life throws at us are our health, determination, and, most importantly, mental resilience.

Why do our children continue to react, not try as hard as they should, and not achieve their goals? Because we have not shown them the path to mental resilience, and we ourselves have not fought to attain it.

In "10 Rules for Resilient Kids," Joe De Sena presents the 10 principles by which we can help our children develop resilience. True mental resilience is a prerequisite for facing difficult situations with calmness and confidence, so that children do not waver, become anxious, or become angry, but instead accept failures and obstacles and learn to set goals.
