Overview
When we refer to the Module One Milestone assignment, there’s no doubt that the contrast between Jan’s and Judi’s lives seems dramatic. However, although we might feel some degree of sadness for Judi and her daughter, there is still hope that they can rise above the challenges and lead more adaptive lives. Despite the unknowns, one thing is certain: Jan’s story paints a very bright picture of what we can do to bridge the gap between our biological (nature) and psychosocial (nurture) outcomes.
In this milestone, you will explore how you apply a growth mindset when considering yourself and the nature versus nurture debate. How much agency do you have over your life? How do emotional intelligence and resilience factors affect your well-being? Maybe more than you think.
