Success depends more on resilience than on grade point average, high-stakes tests, or college prestige. What is resilience? Dr. Ginsburg will explain, exploring his 7 Cs Model of Resilience and offering practical strategies to help parents foster resiliency. 7pm-9pm Authentic Success: Raising Youth To Thrive As much as parenting is about thinking on your feet and meeting your child’s needs today, Dr. Ginsburg reminds us that our longterm goal is to raise thriving 35-year-olds. Rather than trying to smooth their children’s paths, what can parents do to develop their children’s emotional and social intelligence?
