"The Case for the Self-Driven Child"
Date/Time:
Thursday May 17th: 11:45am - 1:15pm
(no charge / lunch provided)
When our children feel as though they can direct the course of their lives through their own efforts, the results are better physical health, less use of drugs and alcohol, as well as with lower stress, positive emotional well-being, greater internal motivation and improved academic performance*. Like exercise and sleep, it appears to be good for virtually everything!
In this presentation, we will learn how the rise in stress and anxiety that we are seeing in our children is inextricably tied to the lack of control they feel, and how we, as adults, can hand over as much control as possible in order to make our homes a "safe base".
