With research-backed strategies, relatable stories, and helpful conversation prompts, Dr. Klein will discuss material from her latest book, "Raising Resilience," including:
- How to instill the emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility and social know-how that our kids need to manage life's challenges and create meaningful, fulfilling lives
- How to find the relationship-centered, resilience-building strategies that work best for your family
- How reflecting on what we bring to being a parent can help us understand ourselves and our children better
- How to build both our kids' capacity and our own capacity for adapting to and flourishing in our ever-changing world
Pamela Wu, Director of News and Media Relations for UC Davis Health, will moderate the event, which will include a 50 minute presentation by Dr. Klein, followed by a 30 minute Q&A and then a book signing.
Tovah P. Klein, PhD, is a professor of psychology at Barnard College and the Director of the Barnard Center for Toddler Development. She is the author of the USA Today bestseller, "Raising Resilience: How to Help Our Children Thrive in Times of Uncertainty" (HarperCollins, 2024) and "How Toddlers Thrive: What Parents Can Do Today to Plant the Seeds of Lifelong Success" (Simon & Schuster, 2014).
Dr. Klein has devoted her professional life to helping children thrive in the face of everyday uncertainty, as well as devastating events. Her research aims to understand children's social and emotional development, parental influences on children's development, and parents' experiences raising children, including the challenges of combining work and family. She has studied large-scale traumatic events, such as witnessing the attacks of 9/11, the Japan earthquake and tsunami of 2011, and parenting during the COVID-19 lockdown. She integrates her work in typical development and parenting challenges with her work on trauma to understand how to best support parents to raise healthy, grounded, and resilient children.
Dr. Klein is an alum of the University of Michigan and received her doctorate in psychology from Duke University. She served as a clinical fellow at Harvard, a fellow at the Yale Child Study Center, and visiting research fellow at UCLA. She speaks to audiences worldwide about child development and is an advisor to a wide range of children's media. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, Parents Magazine, and Motherly, among others. Tovah is the mother of three adult sons and lives in NYC.
