More on... Time To Parent: Organizing your Life to bring Out the Best in your Child and You
 
It can feel impossible to find a healthy balance between raising a human and being a human. But Julie Morgenstern offers parents remarkably practical strategies that organize the seemingly infinite job of being a parent into a manageable set of responsibilities that are relevant from cradle to college. Her clear, nonjudgmental approach will help you see what you’re doing well, where you could be doing better and how even small changes in your own behavior can yield big results. Based on her forthcoming book, TIME TO PARENT, this presentation will empower you to juggle the priorities of the parenting years, as you create regular quality time with your kids -- and for yourself.
 
Julie’s approach is based on 30 years of field work, coaching individuals and families around the world, and a deep understanding of the leading scientific research on human development. Attendees will learn simple strategies to:  

  • Stay present and focused, whether you’re playing with your kids, enjoying a meal with your significant other, or tackling a big work project.
  • Share the joys and burdens of running a household by engaging in honest dialogues your spouse and children and learning new ways to divvy up the work.
  • Get more out of short periods of time by seeing how 5-15 minutes of undivided attention can be exactly what your child needs, and make you feel whole.
  • Give yourself permission to take personal time without feeling guilty, and the science and case studies that show how important self-care is and how to make time for it.

For children, regular quality time with a parent is as important to their development as food or shelter. TIME TO PARENT empowers moms and dads to celebrate what they are doing well and learn simple strategies to improve in the areas where they fall short.
