Crofton House School is proud to continue the Whole Girl, Whole World Speaker Series. In September 2018, Jessica Lahey, teacher and New York Times best-selling author and columnist, will explore with parents and students the positive impact that experiencing and owning failure has on the healthy development of children through to young adults. Reframing failure as a gift, her perspective is refreshing and empowering.
In schools around the world, Jessica’s book The Gift of Failure is being deployed as a community read that sparks dialog and improves cultures. A highly sought-after speaker, Jessica speaks with the authority of a seasoned teacher and the empathetic, often humorous, personal perspective of a mom who has truly been there. She provides actionable recommendations to help parents (and the educators that work with them) reframe children’s temporary setbacks as beneficial steps toward lasting, longer-term success.
