Today's episode with Chris and Holly Santillo discusses the importance of teaching our children independence and resilience in a generation that has become heavily focused on dependency. Many millennial parents are fearful of allowing their children to live independently because they worry about the disconnect in the relationship. However, Chris and Holly discuss how independence actually creates a real connection between parent and child. They discuss the importance of allowing our children to explore, to make decisions on their own, to fail and learn from that failure - and so much more.

The road in front of our teens is a rocky one. They're heading into adulthood in the midst of a pandemic, trying to figure out what they want to do and who they want to be. They're attempting to find independence, but also curate new relationships. There's no shortage of obstacles in their path–if they want to get through, they'll have to know how to persevere. They'll have to be resilient.But how can we as parents help them get there? Turns out, there's a lot we can do! And it starts with being resilient ourselves. If we show kids that we can bounce back from our mistakes, they'll know that they're capable of it too. Then, when it's time to step out into the world, they won't come running back home scared. They'll know how to roll with the punches, think on their feet, and get up when life knocks them down!To understand how we can model resilience for our kids, we're talking to Chris and Holly Santillo, authors of Resilience Parenting: Raising Resilient Children in an Era of Detachment and Dependence. These two have decades of experience both raising and working with kids. Together, they own and operate a martial arts studio, and Holly leads a childrens' choir. Plus they've traveled all over the world with their three kids, and learned quite a bit about resilience along the way.In this episode, Chris, Holly and I are talking about the ways parents can teach perseverance by example. Plus, we're discussing the importance of service, and explaining how teens can become independent without sacrificing their connections to others.

It is an articulate, straightforward, and approachable guidebook, which can be easily read in just a handful of hours, on transforming the bundle of baby into a productive adult." —Martial Journal "Chris is fighting the twin evils of our era: excessive fear for our kids, and busybodies trying to enforce it." —Lenore Skenazy, president of Let Grow, author of "Free-Range Kids," and founder of the Free Range-Kids movement "Resilience Parenting provides a new twist on time-tested tactics that will help us be better and do better.

Chris and Holly Santillo's book Resilience Parenting masterfully distills what they have learned in over twenty years of teaching martial arts and parenting and conveys those lessons in an easy-to-understand and entirely implementable way. As someone who has entrusted my children to their training--and who personally knows their three boys--I can attest that what they do works. I give his book my strongest possible recommendation." —Roger D. Carstens, Lieutenant Colonel US Army Special Forces (retired) "We are at a crossroads in our country. We either continue down the path we are on--creating generations of kids who lack mental fortitude, emotional resilience, and physical health, leading our country to financial, moral, and social ruin--or we pivot and begin to create the conditions for our children to grow into mature, healthy, free, and fully functioning adults. Resilience Parenting is a road map toward the latter. I hope enough parents are smart enough to pick it up." —Michael D. Ostrolenk, M
Learning doesn't always happen in the classroom. Chris and Holly Santillo realized this and teach their children all over the globe. Chris and Holly Santillo are not your regular authors. Chris has a degree in Computer Science from Harvey Mudd College and an MBA from Georgetown University. Holly has a degree in Anthropology from Williamette University. They are the epitome of the Latin phrase “Mens sana in corpore sano,” which means “A healthy mind in a healthy body.” Having strong backgrounds in Martial Arts, Chris being the founder and Head Instructor at Potomac Kempo in Alexandria, Virginia, and Holly being a Senior Instructor, they have managed to develop the principles of Martial Arts into a cohesive parenting methodology. They believe that children (and parents) with broader horizons and open minds can sow the seeds for future generations of confident, strong, and resilient adults. Now, you can find them gliding through the Siberian steppes on the Trans-Siberian Railway, visiting the buzzing markets of Samarkand on the Silk Road, or wondering at the vastness of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. They have decided to live a nomadic life and explore the world with their three boys in order to bring back memories, ideas, experiences, and a fresh view on life. https://resilienceparenting.info/ https://fivebackpacks.family/ Follow me on: facebook: https://facebook.com/couponqueenpin001/ Website: https://couponqueenpin.com Email: cqp@couponqueenpin.com Instagram: @couponqueenpin001 Twitter: @couponqueenpin #podcast #podcasting #spotify #podcasts #podcastersofinstagram #podcastlife #podcaster #streaming #radio #book #love #netflix #itunes #podcasters #author #applepodcasts #storytime #podcastshow #learning #healthy #newpodcast #motivation #spotifypodcast #applepodcast #amazon #family #travel #soundcloud #radioshow #teaching --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cqpmoments/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cqpmoments/support

The Fat-Burning Man Show by Abel James: The Future of Health & Performance
When was the last time you took a family road trip? Especially one that was just for fun? Unfortunately, the family road trip seems to be somewhat of a dying art. After living a life on the road, I can tell you that getting out of the city— away from all of that crazy brain zapping city energy that we're assaulted with, all the marketing and the billboards—and into the wilderness can be an amazing reset for your body, your mind, and your spirit. Our brain is not used to it, our bodies aren't used to it. In ancestral terms, this is all completely unprecedented. More than ever, it's time to take a break. Take that risk and go out somewhere remote. Get away from those city centers, because we all know that it's a mess out there. Today we're here with Chris and Holly Santillo, who are a great example of doing something that violates common sense perhaps, but also is a great example of courage and getting away from the norms, and embracing a life of opportunity, adventure and education, especially with their young ones. Right now, they're actually traveling the country and the world as nomads with their 3 kids. Together they have been working with and educating children for over 35 years. They co-authored the book Resilience Parenting, and founded and instruct at Potomac Kempo, a chain of martial arts studio based in Virginia. And today they're joining me on the show to chat about: How to raise children that are strong, adaptable, and have the ability to recover from setbacks How to eat and train on the road How to turn mistakes into learning opportunities The power of teaching integrity through story And much more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/chris-holly-santillo-raising-strong-adaptable-resilient-children Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman Follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fatburnman Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus

Being a parent is tough. It’s just challenging try to meet the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our children. We have an idea of how to raise our kids based on how we were brought up. Then there are our friends and family who have opinions. Lastly, there is the endless list of bloggers, authors and “professionals” telling us what works and what doesn’t. It’s not easy to know where all the boundaries are drawn let alone do I have too many or too few? One thing that is hard to argue with is the need for a child to be resilient. Someone who when knocked down don’t get stuck with disappointment but can get back up and move on. The child who when they fail at something doesn’t see it as a failure but as another step on the road to get to where they want to go. Arguably, resilience is the one thing that allows all other good qualities and values to not get swallowed up by failure and disappointment but to actually flourish in a person’s life. What if there is a roadmap showing us not just what Resilience looks like but how to get there? That is exactly what this weeks episode is all about. Chris and Holly Santillo are the authors of Resilience Parenting, During this episode and in their book, they outline an entire process to understand what resilience is and how we can teach it to our children. Which means giving them the gift of overcoming setbacks, failures, and disappointments in order to live their very best life. Take a listen here.
