The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives

Organizer: The Parent Venture

In this engaging presentation, Dr. Bill Stixrud and Ned Johnson, co-authors of "The Self-Driven Child," provide research-based advice about how to help children and teens become more resilient, balanced, and motivated for learning.

Stixrud and Johnson theorize that a sense of control is the 'antidote to stress' for common stressors that impact American kids, such as social media, demanding homework, and lack of sleep.

Parents, students, educators and community members welcome! Free admission and light refreshments. Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available.
