In this new podcast, Dr. Tim Jordan highlights critical ways girls can demonstrate to their parents that they possess the maturity and responsibility needed to earn a smartphone or use social media.

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.

Be sure you provide a therapeutic web of support of relatives, friends, teachers, coaches, and sometimes a therapist to buffer adversities.

Dr. Jordan offers 2 powerful metaphors about how your daughters can learn to face and overcome adversities. Unlike cows, buffalos charge directly into storms, facing the challenge head-on, maintaining control over their path and with support from the herd. Instead of procrastinating or avoiding challenges, lions teach us to go towards and thru our fears because they almost never have as much “teeth” as we imagine. The approach of the buffalo and the lion will result in girls developing more self-esteem, self-efficacy, and optimism.For more information on the resources Dr. Jordan offers, visit his website at www.drtimjordan.com Duration: 00:12:54

Dr. Jordan describes how parents can help their daughter make good sense of the adversities she’s faced so that she doesn’t lose sight of who she really is or see her self-esteem drop.

Adversities your daughter faces can build character and resilience.“One small crack does not mean that you are broken, it means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart.” Linda Poindexter; you are stro...
