Well Life Series: ISACS Parent Webinar - Raising Resilient Children
7:30 PM
- 8:30 PM
Raising Resilient Children
Sheri Glucoft Wong, Family Therapist & Author & Olaf “Ole” Jorgenson, Author & Educator
The messages parents give their kids in everyday interactions shape their children’s confidence and resilience. Parents often underestimate how patterns of homelife influence the ways their children handle the challenges that come their way–both big and small. This webinar based on the authors’ new book–Raising Kids: Your Essential Guide to Everyday Parenting–will provide tools for parents with children of all ages to help them more effectively manage disappointment and limits, develop self-esteem, and navigate their social world.
