Glenbard to host book launch that highlights character traits that create thrivers

On Wednesday, April 14, the Glenbard Parent Series: Navigating Healthy Families will present a book launch for "Thrivers: The Surprising Secrets of Happy, High Performing Kids in a Winner Take All World" with educational psychologist Michele Borba at 7 p.m.

Borba believes the children able to flourish in our fast-paced, digitally driven world are "thrivers." She returns to GPS to share the character traits that set up young people for greater accomplishment later in life and allow them to be resilient.

Borba is the author of 24 books for parents and educators, including the bestseller "UnSelfie." She is an internationally recognized expert in parenting, empathy, social emotional learning, character development, bullying and resilience.
