The Resilience Gift
"The greatest gift isn't money — it's their story"
Research shows children who know family stories have higher self-esteem and greater resilience. This is your gift to future generations.
Building Resilience Across Generations
Research by psychologists Marshall Duke and Robyn Fivush shows that children who know their family stories have higher self-esteem, greater resilience, and better emotional wellbeing.
This isn't just memory preservation. It's giving your children and grandchildren the psychological foundation to face whatever life throws at them.
