Here’s something you don’t want to miss if you struggle with yelling at your kids and like learning new parenting tools: The Positive Parenting Conference, where 16 amazing parenting and psychology experts (including our beloved contributor Dr. Laura Markham) are coming together to share their best, most practical and perspective shifting ideas for positively raising happy, well-adjusted kids.
And the best part? It’s FREE to attend and 100% online!
The conference runs May 22nd – 26th and is organized by our friend Sumitha from AFineParent.Com. We normally don’t promote events like this, but this one has an exceptional lineup of talks by some of our favorite like-minded parenting authors such as Dr. Laura Markham, Susan Stiffelman, and Ariadne Brill. The conference features one of the most practical and helpful lineup of talks we’ve ever seen at a conference and all the speakers have years, if not decades, of research and clinical experience working with all sorts of parents and kids. You’ll hear from Dr. Markham about How to be an Emotionally Intelligent Parent, from Susan Stiffelman about How to Get Your Kids to Cooperate, from Heather Shumaker about What to Do When Your Child Does NOT Want to Do the “Right” Thing. And so much more.
While the focus of the conference is positive parenting in general, there are so many great “deep dive” sessions that look at specific parenting tools. The two that jumped out to us are How to Use a “Time In” Instead of the Traditional “Time Out” (and Why) by Ariadne Brill and Staylistening: One Simple Tool to Handle Tantrums, Emotional Meltdowns and More by Tosha Schore. There are several other interesting tools as well.
Take a look at the lineup and see which talks would work best for your family! And while you’re there, don’t forget to reserve your spot!
