Description:
Learn how your daughter’s connectedness to parents, family, community, and culture is more predictive of their mental health than their history of adversity. Dr. Jordan also describes how the timing of adversity makes a huge difference in determining overall risk for kids. Kids need someone who can reinforce that it’s not their fault, they’re not crazy, and that they can get thru tough times. Be sure you provide a therapeutic web of support of relatives, friends, teachers, coaches, and sometimes a therapist to buffer adversities.
Listen to Dr. Jordan’s previous related podcast, The Most Important Factor In Girls Gaining Confidence And Resilience, to learn about the concept of “safe bases.”
