Seminar Description
Participants will learn how to lead a parenting program that shows parents and caregivers how to better prepare their children for a successful adulthood. Drs. Brooks and Goldstein review the qualities of a resilient mindset and emphasize the crucial role parents play in fostering resilience in their children.
Following this seminar, participants will be able to
- lead a 9-week parenting program designed to assist parents in raising resilient children
- help parents understand the components of resilience so interactions with their children can be guided by a blueprint of important principles, ideas, and actions
- explain the qualities of children with a resilient mindset and the obstacles to instilling these qualities
- guide parents in developing a set of strategies to foster these qualities
The 1.5-hour sessions that participants will learn to lead are based on seven guideposts that will help parents learn to raise resilient children:
- Be empathic
- Change negative scripts to positive ones
- Discipline in ways that promote self-discipline and self-worth
- Teach children to solve problems and make decisions
- Love children in ways that help them to feel special and appreciated
- Help children recognize that mistakes are experiences from which to learn
- Help children experience success by identifying and reinforcing their islands of competence
