A Fine Parent

Here is a quick preview of Susan Greenland’s talk from the FREE online Positive Parenting Conference.

In this talk titled How to Be More Mindful and Take Kids Along on the Ride, Susan and I discuss:

• What mindfulness is, and why it is important, particularly in the busy lives we lead
• How mindfulness isn’t necessarily about sitting still and how mindful games can help our kids (and us!) quiet the mind and increase the focus (among other things)
• Several different mindfulness games we can learn, and then teach our kids!

From Dr. Greenberg’s talk earlier in the research-guided parenting track, we know that mindfulness can be a powerful antidote for stress. In this talk we take it a step further and see how through mindful games we can teach mindfulness skills to our kids starting at a very early age. Whether you already practice mindfulness, or you’re simply curious, this talk is packed with great ideas. Don’t miss it!

Here is a quick preview of Katie Hurley’s talk from the FREE online Positive Parenting Conference.

In this talk titled How to Keep Our Daughters from Falling Victim to the Perfect Girl Syndrome, Katie and I discuss:

• How the definition of perfectionism has changed in the recent past
• How this impacts our kids, in particular, our daughters
• Several different activities to help our daughters break free for the expectation to be a “Perfect Girl”

If you are a perfectionist, or are seeing signs of perfectionism in your daughter, then you don’t want to miss this talk. While our focus for a big part of the conversation was on how perfectionism impacts our daughters, those of you with sons who may be perfectionists will likely find this talk very helpful as well!

In this talk titled Key Responsibilities EVERY Child Should Know How to Shoulder, Dr. Gilboa and I discuss:

• Why we need to teach our kids the 3 R’s – respect, responsibility and resilience – from an early age
• What are some of the age-appropriate responsibilities our kids should have as they grow up
• How to get them to do it when it is so tempting to just throw in the towel and do it ourselves

Dr. Gilboa is without a doubt the funnest interviewee I’ve spoken to in this year’s conference. She has an amazing sense of humor… And the best part? She packs in a ton of information, tips and ideas between the laughs. I can’t think of a single parent I wouldn’t recommend this talk to! Go watch it!
