The “Why” and “How” of building and implementing structures in your home that foster the development of resilience and independence in your child.

Kids are at home more than ever these days, and parents are being forced to manage complicated schedules and multiple demands in an already stressful time. In this webinar, we will discuss the often challenging practice of balancing the need to set limits with children while also maintaining tranquility in your home. We will address the age-old question of “is it worth it?” and cover the use of practical tools to help your child understand, manage, and respond to limits. Recommendations will emphasize the use of visual tools, expectations and routines, and motivational techniques that foster independence and accountability.
