Plug: Author of, Wrestling Through Adversity: Empowering Children, Teens, and Young Adults to Win in Life. peaking Points: 1. The US recently commemorated the 22nd anniversary of the World Trade Center attack, when the tensions around the globe are higher than ever with war in Ukraine and the October 7 th Israel-Hamas conflict, where children, teens, and young adults were brutally slaughtered with what some commentators are calling barbarism. My storytelling in this book is a metaphor for how to grapple with life in the 21 st century that begins with Phil Nowick, a wrestling coach, who was a junior investor at Merrill Lynch on 9/11 and subsequently died. Phill's life is emblematic of all our lives, when he showed us how to sprint faster away from the towers, while his lungs burned like wildfire. He wanted to climb the corporate ladder, like many of us, but was accused of being too nice, lacking the killer instinct, but was great at analytics. He told the truth, as he saw it. 2. Phil inspired me to write this book that is intended for everyday people to read and for professionals, whether you are a physician, soldier, CEO, farmer, teacher, butcher, banker, drummer, or teen, who wants to learn how to wrestle through adversity and win. In this book, I address the needs of those who are grappling with the high price of food and gasoline, as well as the needs of their children, teens, and young adults who are under duress with high rates of depression, anxiety, drug addiction, and suicide, and they don't know what to do to help them to help themselves. My stories and lessons learned can teach us all how to become resilient and give us hope for the future. 3. This book represents my holistic work as a peak performance coach, teaching Mindful Toughness skill sets for 27 years to my clients at The Summit Center for Ideal Performance that I founded in 1996 and reflects my expertise as an inductee into the Nursing Hall of Fame at Teachers College, Columbia University. In addition, it is based on my research as a behavioral health RN, medical-surgical nurse, historian of psychiatry and psychiatric nursing, and clinical hypnosis specialist. I work with clients of all ages but specialize in working with young people. 4. Each chapter in this book begins with what I call “Pictures at an Exhibition,” an idea based on the work of Russian composer, Modest Mussorgsky, in his musical composition of the same name. He wrote a vivid collection of tone poems or sound pictures referred to as traveling music, as he envisioned himself walking through a promenade at an art exhibit. Within the context of this book, I am your guide as you experience a walking tour through a collection of my personal memoirs. Throughout my therapeutic narratives, I connect you with the topics of discussion in each chapter and with case stories of actual clients—some of whom are genuine wrestlers—that I have highlighted as representative of my work and show you how I empowered them to reach their potential. 5. Chapter 1: “Building Resilience in the Face of Adversity” is a call-to-action to combat our mental health crisis of young people and looks back to the future through the lens of my lived experiences of the past, which we all have, that now require a shift in our mental health paradigm from a pathogenic model of disease extent since the 17 th century when Rene Descartes, a philosopher, stated that the mind and body are separate to a more contemporary salutogenic model of wellness and health that was suggested by Aaron Antonovsky in his book, Health Stress, and Coping in 1979.

In today’s episode Dr. Dan welcomes Summit Center colleague Dr. Paula Wilkes to discuss how to create well being for ourselves and our families. Dr. Dan and Dr. Wilkes discuss how we can help all children discover their true nature and find their inner peace. This episode also devotes time to the particular challenges of gifted and spiritually sensitive children. Dr. Wilkes lives by deliberately making mindfulness and well being her daily goals as a result of her own personal journey with stress and pain. Her “morning workout” is easy to follow and transformative. She explains that by modeling wellness to our children they will begin to learn about the mind and body connection. During the interview listeners will hear how we can all create calm and peace in our lives: by not rushing, by listening to calm music, by practicing meditation, by finding on-the-go mindful moments and much more. Dr. Wilkes defines mindfulness as being in the moment as life is happening. And for our children because regulation and environment contribute to well being then as parents and educators we need to teach our children to practice self-kindness, self-awareness, and self-love so that they can learn to nourish a feeling of peace in themselves. In one of the most memorable Parent Footprint moments, Paula beautifully recounts to Dr. Dan how her own lifelong evolution of self-awareness and well being profoundly influenced her own daughter’s career and life choices when she became a mother. Paula’s journey benefited her adult daughter in immeasurable ways. Today’s episode proves how important the core value of Parent Footprint is: that we must take good care of ourselves so that we can take good care of our children and grandchildren. Paula Wilkes, Ph.D has worked in gifted education for more than 35 years as a public school teacher, a university professor, and a gifted consultant. She is currently a coach for gifted children and adults at Summit Center in Los Angeles.

As we have discussed many times on our show taking a whole child approach is optimal in discovering how to best assist children with Twice-Exceptionality (Giftedness, Autism, Adhd...) Once we understand the many factors that underlie a child's giftedness and his unique intensities, we can more deeply appreciate and support the whole child. Our overriding goal as parents should be to cultivate the wonderful and original talents in our children. Everything else-supports, interventions,therapies,education-should be undertaken with this goal in mind.  We begin this series featuring Dr. Dan Peters and Dr.Susan Daniels founders of The Summit Center in California. Dr. Peters has devoted his career to the assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, and families, specializing in overcoming worry and fear, learning differences such as dyslexia, and issues related to giftedness and twice-exceptionality.
