Core Connectivity: A foundation for Empowering Families

Resilient Sacramento hosted Joanna Jullien from Core Connectivity: A Foundation to Empower Families. She spoke on the "digital native" generation and the need to learn new skills to parent in the current world. According to Joanna "In the network culture, where it is easy to believe you can simply “Google” anything you think you need to know, everyone with access to the internet needs to think like the quarterback. So this means we must consider our children to be emerging executives and ourselves, the parents, as household executives." Many of these concepts apply to developing resilient young people. Her concept of "genuine love" where setting personal boundaries within the realm of hearts and minds that liberate us from the undue influence in the physical and cyber realms, including: bullying, exploitation, and addiction really spoke to me.
