Parenting with Wit and Wisdom 
& Ask me Anything with Barbara Coloroso

Virtual Workshop | Friday May 19 | 3:30pm - 5:30pm EST

Back by popular demand! Parenting with Wit and Wisdom is packed with solid practical advice for parents of children from toddlers to teenagers, that shows how to utilize the very stuff of family life to create a home environment in which children can become self-disciplined, compassionate, responsible, resourceful, resilient human beings who can act in their own best interest, stand up for themselves and exercise their own rights while respecting the rights and legitimate needs of others. Barbara will discuss the keys to good parenting: treating children with respect; giving them a sense of positive power in their own lives; giving them opportunities to make decisions, take responsibility for their actions and learn from their successes and mistakes. This session will be a short talk from Barbara and then a lengthy Ask Me Anything Q&A where you can engage with one of CWIM's favourites. Get your questions answered on various parenting issues you have concerns about in your own home or in your practice.
