Speaker Rosalind Wiseman shines a light on the lives of today's parents, too many of whom feel trapped in "Perfect Parent World," a place in which a few parents set all the rules and the perceived standards for parental involvement are virtually impossible to achieve. It's a world that has parents reliving the traumas and dilemmas of their own youth - and learning, to their surprise, that those decades-old experiences profoundly influence the way they interact with the professionals and parents who play significant roles in their children’s lives.
Wiseman offers practical strategies and scripts for handling the difficult situations that inevitably arise in parenthood.
In this presentation, Rosalind Wiseman issues a call to action to transform the way we speak to and about young people. She'll pull back the curtain on what's really going on between boys and girls and why they can be so reluctant to ask adults for help. She'll share how boys' and girls' social group dynamics influence their interactions and offer step-by-step advice on how to teach young people to treat each other with dignity. She'll also give common-sense suggestions about how to deal with the frequent struggles between teens and their parents—from video games and social networking to communication breakdowns. By the end of the presentation, Wiseman will have provided concrete strategies for any parent, educator, or professional who works with children and teens, and participants will walk away with positive ways to impact their community. This presentation can be tailored to both student and adult audiences, factoring in any specifics that should be addressed within your community.
