GPS Parent Series: Raising Terrific Kids in Terrifying Times: The Strengths to Survive and Thrive

  • March 03, 2026
  • 12:00 PM
  • online

In an era defined by uncertainty, digital overload, and rising anxiety, parents and caregivers are more concerned than ever about preparing children for an increasingly complex world. Attendees will learn how to nurture three essential strengths in children: coping skills, connection habits, and cultivation strategies. Moyer will explain how these core attributes empower children to set boundaries, take responsibility for their actions, and build healthy, meaningful relationships.

Moyer will detail a practical and research-backed roadmap for raising kids who are emotionally resilient, ethically grounded, and equipped to thrive—even amid today’s most daunting challenges. With actionable tools and a reassuring tone, this session will help parents raise courageous, compassionate kids ready to meet the moment.

Moyer is a contributing editor at Scientific American, and a regular contributor to The New York Times. She is the author of the widely praised “How to Raise Kids Who Aren’t A@#$%&!” and her latest release is “Hello Cruel World!: Science-Based Strategies for Raising Terrific Kids in Terrifying Times.”

Please share information about this event with friends and relatives. All are welcome to our free weekly GPS events, and no registration is required.
