Cobie Smulders is an actress who is known for her role as Robin Scherbatsky in the sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.” She’s also starred in many movies, including her role as agent Maria Hill in Marvel movies.
Cobie knows a thing or two about resilience. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at age 25. She underwent multiple surgeries while starring in “How I Met Your Mother” and did not make her diagnosis public until later. Currently, she lives with her husband and two children in California.
Cobie chooses to use her star power to gather people to fight for the causes she believes in.
She has done several charity events to raise money forenvironmentalcauses and she created a public service announcement for ocean conservation.
She also encouraged people to stay home during the COVID-19 lockdowns and she encouraged her fans to donate to a food bank during the pandemic.
Now, she’s teamed up with Colgate Smile Fund to talk about the importance of teaching kidsresilience.
What Can Help When You’re Feeling Hopeless
People often say things like, “kids are resilient.” But, kids aren’t born resilient. They need adults to teach them how to develop resilience.
Kids need to be taught how to regulate their emotions, how to respond to unhelpful thoughts, and how to take action when they’re faced with adversity. They benefit from learning problem-solving skills and strategies for persevering even when they’re frustrated or overwhelmed.
Instead, those are opportunities to help them find coping strategies to deal with whatever emotions they feel.
The pandemic has certainly taken a toll on many families. And most parents aren’t sure what to do to help kids right now. After all, most parents are struggling too. Holding more conversations about mental health and resilience is a good first step toward healing for everyone.
