How To Help Kids Gain Resilience And Thrive From Adversity
Raising Daughters
06/23/21 • 29 min
Resilience is one of the most important traits that helps a person succeed throughout their life and career. How do we set our children up early so they can thrive from adversity?
Dr. Jordan interviewed Meg Jay, Ph.D., author of Supernormal: The Untold Story of Adversity and Resilience.
Nearly 75% of people experience adversity by the age of 20 (loss of a parent to death or divorce; bullying; alcoholism or drug abuse in the home; mental illness in a parent or a sibling; neglect; emotional, physical, or sexual abuse; having a parent in jail; or growing up alongside domestic violence).
How fear and chronic, cumulative stress affects the brain.
Why keeping secrets about your adversities is so harmful to kids; what predicts distress after adversity is not the severity of the event but how alone one feels afterward; discussed the value of girls sharing their stories at Camp Weloki and knowing they aren’t alone or crazy.
The benefits of being supernormal (having gotten through adversity).
What qualities/experiences best help kids adjust & become resilient?
Why girls are hardier than boys when subjected to stress & adversity?
The importance of focusing on how you survived vs just about your hardships or how you are broken.

Don't Allow Fears to Ruin Your Children's Childhood
Raising Daughters
03/10/22 • 22 min
Children’s childhood is not all about joyfulness and playfulness, but a couple of dangers as well. There are two fears that drive parents to push and micromanage their children:
The fear that their kids are going to fall behind their peers and not keep up with the Jones’s kids.
Fear of how do I prepare my child for a future that is so much different than my experience.
So, parents fill kid’s schedule with enrichment classes, professional coaching, premier summer sports camps, test prep, early specialization.
Parents also overfocus on achievement instead of character.
All of this is telling us something about how we view childhood.
Childhood is not a race or a contest where parents feel they must mold/ micromanage, motivate child to stay on course we set for them.
Kids are missing out on knowing themselves and being distracted from what’s really important: getting to know yourself, self-exploration, reflection, contemplation, quiet time, self-awareness, social-emotional intelligence, try different things, take risks, develop self-efficacy, no time to just be!
GS/HS should be about growing up, learning social-emotional intelligence skills, autonomy to pursue interests, figure out what you like & aptitude, sample.
Let kids be kids! Build their own story and make their unique mark on the world (Bobbi Brown story).

I had 5 younger sisters growing up, so I've been taking care of girls since I was a kid.
