Webinar Description

Webinar Theme:
Loving caregivers maintain high standards and communicate lofty expectations to their children. Yet, their well-intentioned methods can cause anxiety, depression, and under-performance. How is this vexing scenario possible? Because parents around the world have been asking the wrong question for centuries. Rather than wondering. "How much pressure is too much?" we should be asking, "What kind of pressure is helpful?"
In this enlightening workshop, psychologist Chris Thurber will describe some of the eight essential transformations from his book, 'The Unlikely Art of Parental Pressure'.
Each transformation undoes the pain and poor performance caused by harmful pressure and gives parents a practical path forward, toward the kind of healthy pressure that uplifts and inspires young people to become their best selves.
