Dr. Michele Borba & Temple Beth El of Boca Raton

Temple Beth El of Boca Raton Presents: HELPING CHILDREN THRIVE IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD with Dr. Michele Borba.

THIS EVENT IS TICKETED FOR BOTH IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL OPTIONS

Temple Beth El is thrilled to bring Dr. Michele Borba, internationally renowned educator, award-winning author, and parenting child expert to our congregation and community.

Dr. Borba blends 40 years of teaching and consulting experience with the latest science to offer sound, realistic advice to parents, teachers and child advocates about helping children thrive. Her latest book is an urgently needed guide to address the staggering increase in anxiety, stress and emptiness for children from preschool to high school.

She explains why the old markers of accomplishment (grades, test scores) are no longer reliable predictors of success in the 21st century – and offers 7 teachable traits that will safeguard our kids for the future.

Those essential character strengths-confidence, empathy, self-control, integrity, curiosity, perseverance, and optimism-will allow kids to roll with the punches and succeed in life.

In Person:

– $18 per Temple Beth El member

– $36 per Guest

Virtual:

– $18 per person
