Parent Webinar: Raising Resilient Children : Approaches from Positive Psychology By Fiona Forman
Resilience is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children. Now, with the extra challenges they have faced due to Covid 19, we need to equip them with the skills they need to flourish and thrive, despite these many difficulties and obstacles.
The field of Positive Psychology, which is the science of well-being, can offer us many approaches and ideas for nurturing our children’s resilience, through a combination of support and skills.
In this talk, author and former teacher, Fiona Forman, (M. Sc. Applied Positive Psychology) will share insights and research on resilience, as well as practical resilience skills.
