Ann will be speaking about "Big-Picture Parenting."

Presentation description: In this thought-provoking presentation, parenting author Ann Douglas discusses the advantages of taking a big-picture approach to parenting (parenting with your hopes and dreams for your child and your family in mind). She will discuss the importance of tuning into your child’s needs, using parenting strategies that bring out the best (as opposed to the worst) in your child, being mindful of your parenting decisions, creating a support network for yourself and your family, and practicing self-care. Expect a compelling mix of practical advice and lively anecdotes from this popular and engaging speaker.
