Dr. Michele Borba has been an educational psychologist for over 40 years, but has never been more concerned about kids than she is today. “They are not okay,” she warns. “In fact, they are less happy and more stressed, lonely, depressed, and suicidal when compared with any previous generation - and those descriptions were identified prior to COVID-19.”
In short, our kids are failing to thrive, and if left as is, there may be grave consequences on their futures.
Thankfully, research shows that even in the face of tremendous adversity, some children thrive, instead of falling prey to pessimism, depression, stress, and anxiety.
In this Master Class, you'll learn the seven character strengths you can teach your children that have been proven to boost character, optimize learning and increase mental health and well-being.
While we cannot protect our children from life's challenges, we can help them thrive, regardless of what life brings.
Join us for this very important session that will help your kids come out of quarantine with the skills they really need to survive and thrive in the new landscape that follows.
