From Birth to Dorm

Parenting is a lifelong journey of letting go—one stage, one milestone, one leap of independence at a time. In this interactive Birth to Dorm workshop, parents will explore practical, research-based ways to nurture their children’s focus, confidence, and connection from early childhood through young adulthood.

Led by an experienced educator and leadership coach, this session bridges science and real life—helping parents understand the building blocks of executive function, emotional resilience, trust, and independence. Through relatable examples, reflection prompts, and simple strategies, participants will learn how to shift from “fixing and directing” to “coaching and connecting,” so children grow into capable, curious, and self-assured learners.

Whether you’re navigating toddler tantrums, middle school moods, or the bittersweet college send-off, From Birth to Dorm offers insight, humor, and actionable tools to help you raise resilient humans—without losing yourself along the way.
