About this event
If you’ve ever wondered, 'What's the right amount of pressure to put on my kids?" you’ve been asking the wrong question.
In The Unlikely Art of Parental Pressure, Dr. Thurber and Dr. Weisinger reveal why the critical question to ask is: What’s the right KIND of pressure to put on kids?
Harmful pressure has contributed to a global surge of anxiety and depression in young people, but their book outlines eight transformations that caregivers can make to raise healthy, happy, high-functioning children.
In February’s “Learning from a Distance Webinar” The StudyPro welcomes Dr. Hendrie Weisinger and Dr. Christopher Thurber, authors of “The Unlikely Art of Parental Pressure.” who will present:
“Healthy Pressure: Putting Our Children on the Path to Success”
In this webinar Drs. Weisinger and Thurber will share:
- How to identify the distinction between healthy and harmful pressure
- Practical suggestions to transform harmful pressure to healthy pressure
- What to do and say if your child is underperforming despite your best efforts
Parents will learn how to transform unhealthy pressure into a powerful force that guides, encourages, motivates, and inspires their children to be their best selves and will ultimately build a deeper connection with their child.

The StudyProThe StudyPro was created to fill a gap in the world of student learning.
Lots of smart students do well academically, yet struggle with managing increasingly rigorous coursework and homework demands. The skills required to manage these demands --and to become independent and effective learners --aren’t fully taught in school, but the expectation is that students have mastered them. These skills are known as Executive Function Skills.
This is where The StudyPro comes in. We help students build the critical "process" competencies that they need to succeed now, as well as to face the challenges of college, the workplace and life.
