Webinar

Join author Katherine Reynolds Lewis for a talk on parenting strategies that help children become independent, confident self-regulated and resilient, based on her book, The Good News About Bad Behavior. Katherine will share her book’s findings about the rising rates of youth behavioral and mood disorders, and explain how successful discipline practices teach children the art of self-control. Our time-honored methods of punishments and rewards haven't taught discipline--they've undermined it.
