How To Help Kids Gain Resilience And Thrive From Adversity
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.
