Parent Seminar Series: Karen Young

Self-control is a vital skill that is instrumental in helping our children and teens develop into healthy, happy adults. It will take time to take shape – nobody was born knowing how to manage big feelings and delay immediate wants in favour of a longer-term goal, but parents have enormous power to provide their young people with the experiences that will build this vital skill. This seminar will explore the powerful ways parents can, quite literally, influence the strengthening of the brain in ways that will build self-control, emotional regulation, and resilience in their children for life. We will look at the importance of relationship in nurturing self-control, and how parents can strengthen their connection and influence with their children and teens during childhood, adolescence, and beyond.
