About this event
We all want to raise kind and thoughtful kids – children who can reach out with compassion and bounce back from challenges.
That’s why we need to attend to their emotional development. Students who are emotionally literate are better equipped to learn in school, deal with difficulties, form healthy relationships, and make responsible choices.
Join Deborah Farmer Kris – educator, child development expert, and author of the new children’s book “You Have Feelings All the Time” – to learn more about the science of emotion and how everyone benefits when we learn how to name, normalize, and navigate our feelings.
Deborah Farmer Kris is a parenting columnist for PBS KIDS, an educational correspondent for NPR's Mind/Shift, and the founder of Parenthood365, an organization dedicated to helping children and teens thrive.
Parents/caregivers, students, educators, mental health professionals, and community members welcome! Free admission. Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available.
This presentation is sponsored by Redwood City School District, Sequoia Union High School District, Sequoia Healthcare District, Peninsula Health Care District, and The Parent Venture.
