Say Yes To No
There is an epidemic of Discipline Deficit
Disorder sweeping the country. The symptoms include disrespect, impatience, a
need for instant gratification, a sense of entitlement, self centeredness, and
out of control consumerism. This workshop, based on Dr. David Walsh's new book,
NO: Why Kids-of All Ages-Need to Hear It and Ways Parents Can Say It, explains
how the "Yes culture" undermines our children's self discipline, a trait
that is the key ingredient for children's success and happiness. Our speakers
offer down-to-earth advice that can be put into practice immediately and humorous
anecdotes to illustrate central points, and give parents real, effective strategies
for helping their children grow up happy and healthy. Audiences leave with the
reminder that "No" is not the destination, it is the road to "Yes."
Media and Body Image
From an early age, daughters battle hyper-sexualization,
self-doubt and body image obsession. Joe explains the causes and consequences—for
sons and daughters—and then shows how families can protect their kids from
corrosive messages and images. |
