BUILDING RESILIENCE
Preparing our Teens to Thrive in Uncertain Times
Dec 7, 7pm PDT
Our teens are coming of age in a highly uncertain world: a lingering global pandemic, rapid technological advances, climate and political upheaval – all which signal future uncertainty. By focusing primarily on grades and performance, parents are leaving kids ill-prepared to navigate the challenges and complexities to come. Dr. Levine, a clinical psychologist with 40 years of experience, identifies the skills that kids need to succeed in a complex future: adaptability, mental agility, curiosity, collaboration, tolerance for failure, resilience, and optimism. Relying on the latest research and developments in neuroscience and epigenetics (the intersection of genetics and environment), Dr.Levine will discuss day-to-day solutions parents can use to raise kids who are prepared, enthusiastic, and ready to face an unpredictable future with confidence and optimism.
