The Umbrella Project

Dr Jennifer Forristal is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate The Umbrella Project. Dr Jenn tells us that The Umbrella Proect equips kids, parents, and educators with positive social and emotional coping skills to help them live confident, healthy, and meaningful lives in the face of life's uncertainties and struggles. She says kids with a full umbrella of coping skills: -    respond with grit, resilience, and empathy. -  show kindness to others while still caring for themselves. -    are intrinsically motivated to reach their goals while practicing self-compassion when they fall short of their own expectations. -    actively practice mindfulness and gratitude. -    contribute to healthy families, schools, and communities. A child's umbrella is made up of things they CAN CONTROL in the face of circumstances that they CAN'T – and they need YOU to help them learn how to strengthen their umbrella skills!   Click here to visit Dr Jenn's website - https://umbrellaproject.co/ Click here to visit our website - www.readingwithyourkids.com
