The teen years are a period of intense growth both physically and emotionally. These years can be exciting, unpredictable, and challenging....for both teens and parents. They need us and they push us away. Their emotions can vary at any given time. We worry when we are unsure about what is going on with them and also when we don't know how to help them. Observing anxious feelings and low mood can be normal development and can also be something more worrisome. Come join us to learn more about the symptoms of anxiety and depression in teens. Understand the difference between what is "normal" and when support is needed.
Raising Confident Kids: A Conversation with Jai Flicker

We all want our kids to be self-assured, but many people don’t know how to cultivate true confidence in children. Several popular notions about building confidence and self-esteem have turned out to be completely wrong, resulting instead in children developing unhealthy self-images and narcissism. Research shows that when confidence is not deeply rooted, it withers when we need it most - in the face of challenge. During this talk we will be discussing how to avoid these pitfalls and what, in fact, does lead to deeply rooted confidence in children.
This talk is targeted to parents of children ages 0-5.
