PCE Club - 14th Annual Parenting Conference

PCE第十四届子女教育研讨暨年会

真正的成功：培育能在充满挑战的世界里健康向上的孩子

特邀演讲嘉宾: 宾大医学院儿科教授Kenneth Ginsburg

2017年10月14 日 星期六, 下午 12:00点 至 5:00点

Windsor Athletic Club (WAC)
Clarksville Rd, West Windsor Township, NJ 08550

此次讲座将讨论如何激发和培养孩子对学习的热爱而不是对失败的惧怕，以促进他们取得卓越的成就。永远不要忘记，我们养育孩子的目标是让孩子成长为快乐而对社会有贡献的人。讲座讨论促进紧密的家庭关系的沟通方法，让家长能够与孩子有良好的关系，更好的支持到孩子。这意味着学业成绩尽管重要，它也只是衡量成功的标准之一。孩子需要具有情商和社交能力，才可能在家庭和工作中蓬勃发展。他们需要保持和发展他们的创造性和创新潜能，以及内在的韧性。孩子被推得太厉害，就无法发现自己的天赋，并趋于完美主义。完美主义者无法接纳自己，享受不到高成就带来的快乐，事实上这窒息了他们自己的创造性。Ginsburg教授将讨论大学录取过程，重点强调引导孩子找到适合自己的教育与学校。讲座的主题是培养能为世界做出独特与巨大贡献的成功孩子。

宾大医学院儿科教授Kenneth Ginsburg，专长于青少年行为和心理健康， Boys & Girls Clubs of America的韧性专家，曾获多个奖项并出版多部专著，包括在美国儿科学会出版的《Building Resilience in Children and Teens: Giving Kids Roots and Wings》和《Raising Kids to Thrive: Balancing Love With Expectations and Protection With Trust》。他的临诊实践、教学、科研、以及社会活动都围绕着一个统一的主题：通过提高青少年的内在韧性来打造他们的强项。他致力于将研究和临诊中所获知的东西尽可能转化为日常实践中的方法，以便让父母, 专业人士、和社区来培养孩子的韧性。

年会的第二部分"青少年实话实说"是每年俱乐部年会的亮点，很受家长及青少年的欢迎。几个青少年将对家长们普遍关心的一些问题分享他们的想法。

我们鼓励青少年与他们的父母一起参加本次研讨会, 这样更有助于父母和孩子共同的有效学习和提高。

14th Annual Parenting Conference

Authentic Success: Raising Children and Adolescents
Who are Prepared to Thrive in a Challenging World

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg

SATRUDAY OCTOBER 14, 2017, 12:00pm - 5:00pm

Location: Windsor Athletic Club (WAC)
Clarksville Rd, West Windsor Township, NJ 08550

This talk discusses how to foster high achievement in children while instilling a love of learning, rather than a fear of failure. We must never forget that our goal in raising children is to prepare them to be happy and productive adults. This talk will cover the essentials of communication that foster close family relationships and position parents to be optimally supportive and close with their children. Furthermore, this means that academic performance, while important, is only one measure of success. Children need the emotional and social intelligence to thrive in the home and workplace. They need to maintain and develop their creativity and innovative potential as well as their internal resilience. Children who are pushed too hard do not discover their gift and are driven to perfectionism. Perfectionists do not find themselves acceptable and don't experience the joy associated with high performance, and in fact stifle their own creativity. The college admissions process will be discussed and the importance of guiding each child to find the right educational match will be emphasized. This seminar is about raising successful children who will make their unique and substantial contributions to the world.

About Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg: Kenneth R. Ginsburg, MD, MS Ed, FAAP, is an award winning author and a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Additionally, He serves as the external National Resilience Expert for The Boys and Girls Club of America and works with National Congress of American Indians in its efforts to build resilience in indigenous youths. His most recent books include, "Building Resilience in Children and Teens: Giving Kids Roots and Wings", and "Raising Kids to Thrive: Balancing Love with Expectations and Protection with Trust", both published by The American Academy of Pediatrics. The theme that ties together his clinical practice, teaching, research and advocacy efforts is that of building on the strengths of teenagers by fostering their internal resilience. He strives to translate the best of what is known from research and practice into practical approaches that parents, professionals and communities can use to build resilience.
