Parenting the #Selfie Generation: Instilling Resilience: Survival of the Kindest: How Helping Other Fuels Success in Our Children…and Ourselves with Dr. Christopher Kukk @ Scotts Ridge Middle School

New research in biology, neuroscience, and economics proves that to achieve durable success, we need to do more than “look out for #1” – we need to practice compassion. Join us as Christopher Kukk, Ph.D. – author of The Compassionate Achiever and founding Director of the Center for Compassion, Creativity & Innovation at Western CT State University – discusses how being kind not only improves the lives of others…it can transform our own lives and those of our children. Don’t miss this culmination of a town-wide read and preview of an upcoming Ridgefield initiative!

This program takes place at Scotts Ridge Middle School, 750 N Salem Rd, Ridgefield. Please register.

The Parenting the #Selfie Generation series of programs and workshops is a community-wide collaboration with Ridgefield Public Schools, Ridgefield Council of PTAs, Ridgefield Library, Ridgefield Youth Commission, Books on the Common, Project Resilience, Town Vibe, and Silver Hill Hospital.
