Relentless worry is currently the norm for parents, and often worn like a badge of honor. In Base Camp Parenting: Worry Less to Help Your Kids More, Susan Bauerfeld, PhD and Chris Parrott, CPsychol will give parents the tools necessary to shift away from worrying. They discuss the adverse impact of parental worrying on “Base Camp”— the environment in which children are raised— and show how shifting attention away from worried thinking is crucial to overall health and well-being. In addition, they will provide parents with an easy-to-implement 4-step process that leaves families calmer, more connected, and better prepared to handle situations as they arise.
Join the authors for an evening filled with humor, insight, and compassion.
Susan Bauerfeld, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist, IFS therapist, speaker, parent consultant/coach, and ADHD coach. Since retiring from her private practice, her speaking centers around managing challenges related to anxiety, child-raising, learning differences, and technology.
