Rethinking Parenting: Video

  • Print
  • Email
Details
Parent Category: Parenting Advice
Category: General Parenting Advice

PSP held a forum on April 8, 2021, with Nancy McDermott, Michaeleen Doucleff, and Lenore Skenazy, who shared their insights on how today’s watchful culture of raising children has arguably created more stress for parents as we strive to meet ever more complex and contradictory standards for optimal parenting.

 

This is an event that will help us understand how we came to be such worried parents (spoiler: it’s not your fault!). An event where you'll discover the reasons to sit back more and control less (spoiler: there’s more time for you!). An event where you’ll see your kids in a different light  (spoiler: you don’t have to take it personally) and build more togetherness and autonomy.

 

View the full recording below—and if you’re a parent in Brooklyn who’s not yet a member of PSP, sign up and join the movement today!
