Free virtual talk featuring authors Sam Goldstein, Ph.D., and Robert B. Brooks, Ph.D.
Tenacity is more important than ever in preparing kids for the future and setting them up for lifelong happiness and success.
According to Sam Goldstein, Ph.D., and Robert B. Brooks, Ph.D., the co-authors of “Tenacity in Children: Nurturing the Seven Instincts for Lifetime Success,” there are seven essential human instincts powering tenacity that have evolved over thousands of years and are innate at birth.
In this illuminating talk, hosted by ParentMap with Nola Family Magazine, learn how to identify and cultivate those seven instincts in kids, what tenacity means, and why it’s important.
Goldstein and Brooks will challenge you to rethink how you parent, socialize, and educate your kids so that they can successfully transition into adult life. One particular focus will be on how encouraging altruism and a habit of giving back can make a positive difference in both your kid’s life and the lives of others.
