Parenting Workshop: Overcoming Parenting Guilt While Raising Resilient Kids

It is hard parenting in the 2020’s. Most parents are plagued with questions like, am I doing this the right way, am I giving my kids enough, am I giving them too much, am I present enough, are they autonomous enough, is this too much tech time, should I allow more tech opportunities? The thoughts are never ending and ever evolving as they get older. In this conversation, you will be in community with other parents or caregivers who have those same thoughts or questions! In this space, we will first validate that we are good parents doing the best that we can with what we know. We will discuss ways to build connections with our youth through co-regulation. We will also begin to explore ways that our youth are excelling and places that we can push a little harder. Finally, we will talk about what resilience really is and ways to build those skills in our youth.

This workshop will be led by Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Lindsay Kusy.
