With research-backed guidance, relatable scenarios, and instructive dialogues, Ned will discuss:
- How to communicate with our kids to deepen the parent-child connection and build skills, resilience and motivation
- How and why to be a non-anxious presence in your family
- How to have hard conversations about homework, bedtime, screen time and more
- How to help kids conquer their fears and anxieties and pursue activities that bring joy and happiness
- How to become trusted allies to our kids and promote their autonomy
