Parenting in Place Series: TOWN HALL

Parenting in Place features 8 weekly masterclasses hosted on Zoom on Wednesday evenings from Feb. 17 through April 7, each focused on a different theme, and each including specific takeaways and strategies. The presenters are bestselling parenting authors, therapists, educators, and neuroscientists who’ve joined up to share their very best strategies and ideas for how you and your family can thrive in the coming months.

Because the event is live, attendees can ask the hosts questions and communicate with each other through the chat. So most weeks, I’ll join in live and hang out in the comments section, where the experts not speaking on that week’s panel cheer parents on, answer questions, and share resources.

Registrants also receive a bundle of free bonus content from the speakers, and access to a closed moderated Facebook group to keep the conversation going and provide three months of support.

Check our our amazing line-up:

• FEB 17: A CONVERSATION ON MINDFULNESS, MENTAL HEALTH, AND ANXIETY. - Debbie Reber and Donald E. Grant, Jr. will discuss mindfulness strategies for managing parental stress and anxiety — and ways to support children in this unusual time.
• FEB 24: A CONVERSATION ON RAISING RESILIENT KIDS. - Madeline Levine and Michele Borba will offer simple ways to teach your kids how to cope today so they can thrive tomorrow.
• MAR 3: A CONVERSATION ON MOTIVATION, STRESS, AND SCREENS. - Janine Halloran and Katherine Reynolds Lewis will share strategies for teaching coping skills, balancing screens with academics, and keeping perspective.
• MAR 10: A CONVERSATION ON SEX AND GENDER. - Courtney Macavinta and Ignacio Rivera will discuss sex education and puberty, and will offer suggestions for raising and supporting queer kids and allies.
• MAR 17: A CONVERSATION ON RAISING ETHICAL CHILDREN. - Catherine Steiner-Adair and Howard Stevenson will offer support for talking to kids about race and equipping them to seek justice, as well as parenting around difference, whether disability, LGBTQ or racial identity.
• MAR 24: A CONVERSATION ON TEENAGERS. - Christine Carter and Ned Johnson will share best practices for working with teens and fostering healthy motivation, stress tolerance, and joy
• MAR 31: A CONVERSATION ON BIG KID ISSUES. - Jessica Lahey and Julie Lythcott-Haims will discuss how to send our children into the world, with all the skills they need to be resilient, motivated and independent, without resorting to the escape of drugs and alcohol.
• APR 7: TOWN HALL. - The last week of the series will be a virtual, moderated Town Hall with me and other speakers responding to the most pressing concerns and questions from the Parenting in Place community. Full lineup will be announced soon.

Live events will be held on Wednesdays at 5pm PT/8pm ET, but registrants will have access to replays in case they can’t attend live.

Cost: One of our goals from the beginning has been to make this event accessible to as many people as possible so, the entire series— 8-weeks of live classes, the bonus bundle, and the closed Facebook community—costs only $49, or $39 early bird, which ends on Feb 17.. We also have a scholarship rate for folks in significant financial need.

And, something that makes me extra happy about Parenting in Place is that a portion of the proceeds from the Masterclass will be donated to charitable organizations that support children, families, and communities. The charity I’ve chosen is the Creative Healing for Youth in Pain, an online nonprofit for teens with chronic pain and their parents, providing educational resources, exposure to creative healing experiences and social support.
