Join Dr. Elizabeth Bleicher in an engaging, enlightening, and humorous discussion of coaching your college student on the personal, academic, and professional rewards of persistence, resilience, and failure. This webinar will be recorded and available on our Family and Supporters webpage (https://www.ithaca.edu/families) one week after the event.
Sneak peak IC's Family Newsletter's column from Dr. Bleicher here:
Resist the urge to scoop up the bird. This year is tough. Most of us did not expect to have our birds in the nest with us full time! No doubt your student has faced both expected and unexpected challenges this year and will continue to do so. The good news – actually, the great news – is that productive struggle builds critical skills and resourcefulness. The key? A coach who can frame struggle as a positive process (that’s you!) Tackling and conquering a challenge builds confidence that you can do the next hard thing. It is so important for your student to experience this. They will be rewarded with genuine self-esteem and self-efficacy if your response is: “I have faith in your ability to tackle this challenge.”
