10 Rules for Resilience

10 Rules for Resilience: Mental Toughness for Families by Joe De Sena and Lara Pence is a practical, action-oriented guide that helps parents build grit and emotional strength in their children through ten clear, family-friendly principles. Combining real-life anecdotes, straightforward routines, and concrete exercises, the authors focus on consistency, accountability, physical challenge, emotional regulation, and servant leadership to create a resilient family culture. Each rule includes daily habits, conversation starters, and activities designed to turn lessons into practice, making resilience an everyday skill rather than an abstract goal.
