Talking Resilience with Dr. Nefertiti Poyner

Everyone is feeling stretched right now.  That’s why I recently sat down with Dr. Nefertiti Poyner to talk about what we can do to make sure we all bounce back.  In this podcast episode, she talks about protective factors and the “ordinary magic” that helps both children and adults overcome adversity.  She also shares a fantastic script that can help you get through tough times with children who are frustrated by change.  If you’re curious about how to help children be resilient during this challenging time, or if you simply need a vibrant boost of positive energy, Dr. Poyner is exactly who you’re looking for.
