Children can face significant childhood adversity: the loss of a parent through death or divorce, domestic violence, an alcoholic parent, sexual abuse, and bullying at home or school. Meg Jay says these people are not abnormal, but beyond normal, exceptional, extraordinary and heroic in many ways.
In her book Supernormal, Meg points out the resourcefulness kids develop when they're surrounded by chaos and trauma. In this episode, we talk about what are some of the ingredients that help our children develop resilience and how we can help.
Meg Jay, PhD, is a Clinical Psychologist, and an Associate Professor of Human Development at the University of Virginia. She is also the author of the books “Supernormal” and “The Defining Decade”.
