“You can say the right thing, but if your heart isn’t in it, it won’t draw you any closer to your child.

In fact, fudging may cause you to lose credibility with your child, which can drive a wedge in your relationship.

Be sure, therefore, that you truly understand your child before you say you do.

If you’re not sure whether you understand, simply reflect back what you see and hear.”

Step Back so Kids Step Up by Dr. Deborah Gilboa

Children and teenagers are capable of so much more than they are often given credit for.  Closing the expectation gap between what adults believe kids and young adults are capable of, and allowing them to create their own solutions to the challenges they face will greatly impact their resilience, and society has a whole.  In this webinar, Dr G will outline the practicalities of doing that, and the guiding principles that will make it possible.
