Hosted on Zoom, also available for on demand viewing
Attend live to get your questions answered!
Featuring: Ali Schroer
In this 30 minute session, Ali will address how anxieties of adults can also effect their children. Since the pandemic, parents have been stuck in a "snowplow parenting" mentality, where they remove all obstacles from their child's path without letting them learn through experiences or failure. Listen in and learn what changes you can make in your daily life that will help build strong character and resiliency in children. The live session includes a brief Q&A, so bring your questions!
