Here is a quick preview of Amy Morin’s talk from the Positive Parenting Conference 2018.

In this talk titled How to Be a Mentally Strong Person and Raise Resilient Kids, Amy and I discuss:

• What mental strength is, and what it isn’t
• Amy is a psychotherapist and professor, but her interest in this topic is not just academic curiosity. We look at how the adverse circumstances of her life led her to studying this topic
• Some of Amy’s best tips on what mentally strong people, and parents, do and don’t do

We had a lot of network trouble while recording this call, but I hope that the content of the talk will have you so involved that you won’t notice the video issues 🙂 If it does bother you though, I hope you will simply ignore the video and just listen to the audio anyway because this talk packs quite a punch and I don’t want you to miss it! Amy is an amazing inspiration and I am so grateful to have had the chance to speak with her, tech issues notwithstanding. I hope you take away as much from it as I did!

Here is a quick preview of Lenore Skenazy’s talk from the Positive Parenting Conference 2018.

In this talk titled How to Parent Bravely in a Culture of Fear, Lenore and I discuss:

• How in a short span of a few decades we have gone from parents who trust kids and the society, to a culture of fear, worry, anxiety, hovering and helicoptering
• Lenore’s brush-in with this culture of fear in a massively public way and how she found the courage to not just stand for what she believes in, but also started the Free Range Kids movement along the way
• The benefits of the Free Range Kids movement and the Let Grow project for kids, and for parents!

Do you feel sad that our kids don’t have the kind of carefree childhood we had? Do you wish you could give them at least some of the independence and freedom we enjoyed? If you answered ‘yes’ to either of those questions, this is definitely your kind of talk!
