A Doctor's Prescription for Positivity

Dr Charnetta Williams is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate her new children's book Penelope and the Power of Positivity. She discusses how the book teaches the importance of a growth mindset and believing in yourself through challenges with the help of phrases like "I can't yet." Dr. Williams drew inspiration for the book from helping her own daughter develop confidence and from being with her mother during a medical crisis. She hopes the book will help parents have important conversations with their kids about developing a positive outlook. Both Dr. Williams and the host discuss how scientific studies show benefits to mental and physical health from practicing gratitude and positivity. They encourage embracing challenges with resilience and not letting doubts like "fear" and "self-doubt" drive your decisions. Click here to visit our website - www.readingwithyourkids.com
