NAVIGATING EVERYTHING PARENTING:

DESCRIPTION
Some foundational parenting questions all parents must consider:

  • What are Parenting Styles and which ones should I be using in my parenting?

  • How can I gain better communication skills and use them with my children?

  • What does spending time with my kids look like?

  • How do I effectively discipline my children?

  • Various aspects of home life also need addressing, with each section being a sizeable discussion on their own.

At the end of this talk I will look at where parents can begin these discussions, (on-ramps) and give them practical tools so they can effectively talk with their kids about all of the following areas: mental health, dating, media and tech use, drug / alcohol use and abuse, education/finances, loneliness and others.
