ParentEd Talks -The Extraordinary Power of a Resilient Mindset

Calendar/Event Details

Free virtual ParentEd Talk by co-authors Sam Goldstein, Ph.D., and Robert B. Brooks, Ph.D.

Back by popular demand, ParentMap welcomes Sam Goldstein, Ph.D., and Robert B. Brooks, Ph.D.! In their 2021 ParentEd talk, they explored the seven essential human instincts powering tenacity, the key personality trait that prepares kids for lifelong happiness and success. This year, they will focus on resilience, the conditioned process of competent functioning in the face of duress or adversity.

During their Oct. 12 ParentEd talk, Goldstein and Brooks will share strategies parents can employ to nurture a resilient mindset and behaviors in themselves and in their children.

Win an Amazon gift card! As a thank you, we will give away one $100 Amazon gift card at each ParentEd event. Only attendees of the live event are eligible for the prize, and the winner will be notified via private message in Zoom at the end of each talk.
