Invitation for this workshop:

Bouncing Ahead:  Emotional Intelligence to Build Optimistic Children Optimism is rooted in the knowledge that we have the power to change, grow, and move forward. Optimists see failure as a transitory obstacle that can be overcome with additional effort or renewed persistence. Optimism is a learned skill, and optimists live longer, healthier, more successful lives – their marriages are more successful, they get better grades in school, and they earn a higher income! Come to this parent workshop and learn how to rise above the pessimism and the depression that accompany negative thoughts and behaviors. Practicing optimism will help you to: change your internal dialogue from negative to positive. teach your children a better “explanatory style” for failure and mistakes. move from an “I give up” habit to an “I can do it” habit.
