Greater Triangle of AYLUS ,On December 18th 8:00pm public webinar on Positive Psychology in Raising Teens。
After listening to Dr. Julie Xie’s lecture on positive psychology, I gained a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the relationship between parents and their children. I learned that even before the covid pandemic, a large proportion of teenagers experienced depression or anxiety. During their children’s teenage years, parents also exhibited depression and anxiety at the highest rates.
large part can be attributed to genetic and environmental factors outside of one’s control, Dr. Xie notes how 40% can be alleviated through lifestyle changes. For children, sleeping for an adequate number of hours and exercising frequently is effective at lowering depression and boosting energy and self-esteem. Even smiling has a positive effect on a child’s disposition. She also emphasizes the importance of establishing many connections with many people throughout one’s lifetime, citing a 75 year long longitudinal study that proved it was correlated with happiness and future earnings. After listening to Dr. Xie’s lecture, I’ll be sure to adopt some of these good habits into my daily life. Equally important in boosting a child’s happiness are their parents.
