Children's upsets cause some of the rockiest moments in parenting. If we are permissive toward their upsets, are we setting them up for failure later on? If we insist on rational behavior, are we doing emotional damage they’ll have to undo later?
This talk will present a unique perspective on children's emotional health. Grace Flemming will offer a framework for understanding the emotional lives of children, and talk about why minor issues often trigger children’s deepest feelings. Parents will learn practical things they can do to increase their child's emotional well being, and effective ways to build relationships that will give their children the backing they need to navigate adolescence well.
