2025–2026 ParentEd Talks

A powerful commitment to your growth as a parent

Most jobs come with weeks of training and development. But parenting — the most important (and arguably hardest) job of all — comes with almost none. And it's constantly evolving. Every stage brings new joys, new challenges and so many questions. You shouldn’t have to figure it out all on your own. That’s why ParentMap created a powerful series of monthly parent education webinars to offer expert guidance, heartfelt inspiration and a reminder that you’re never alone on this journey. We'll explore the most pressing topics parents are navigating today — from youth mental health, to the impact of technology, to improving the parent/child relationship, to understanding ADHD and other invisible disabilities.

Why attend?

• Get expert advice: Gain valuable insight from leading psychologists, authors and child development specialists to help you in your parenting journey.
• Join the conversation: Attendees have the opportunity to submit questions or ask them live — our Q&A format brings expert advice and a community of like-minded parents together.
• Enjoy easy access: Participate from the comfort of your home or on-the-go with Zoom sessions designed to accommodate busy parents. Plus, you can access the event recordings to revisit the sessions anytime.
• Invest in your parenting growth: Nurturing the most important role you’ll ever have is always worth it. By registering, you’re making a powerful commitment to your growth as a parent and to the well-being of your family.
