The Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® brand continues its commitment to healthy lifestyles by partnering with Positive Psychology leader and mother of four, Dr. Karen Reivich, to create Fishful ThinkingSM. Fishful ThinkingSM is a program that helps parents raise children who have a positive attitude and can confidently tackle life's challenges.
Fishful ThinkingSM focuses on five key skills that all parents can teach to their children.
OPTIMISM: Focusing on the positive things in life.
EMOTIONAL AWARENESS: Expressing and controlling your feelings.
GOAL SETTING/HOPE: Finding ways to achieve your goals.
RESILIENCE: Coping with life's ups and downs.
EMPOWERMENT: Identifying and using your strengths and skills.
With Fishful ThinkingSM, parents can:
- talk with kids about how to deal with the ups and downs of life
- teach effective problem-solving techniques to help kids grow with a feeling of competence
- help kids develop an optimistic attitude that allows them to move past setbacks and obstacles
- help kids to develop their confidence and reach their full potential
- empower parents and children to develop positive communication between each other and practice the skills with their kids using fun, easy activities
- connect with other parents to find solutions that help develop happier, healthier, more resilient children.
Dr. Karen Reivich answers real life questions from parents about their parenting concerns.
