WHICH TALK WOULD BE MOST RIGHT FOr YOUR COMMUNITY?

RESILIENCE + GRIT

Let's explore what we know is one of the most protective factors for our children, and learn how to sow the seeds of resilience in our everyday lives.

  • What "emotional growth curves" are, and why it's important to learn how to spot them. 
  • Concrete, learnable strategies for activating a child's inner resilience
  • Why we parents are uniquely positioned to be the best "first responders" for our kids
  • How we can become the trusted cutman/ cutwoman in their corner, for the scrapes and blows that life will present them with.  

You'll leave this talk with less fear about the challenges our kids are facing, and more hope and gratitude for all the ways in which they can build the kind of strength and grit that life demands of us all.

TALK #1

If I could convince every parent to listen to Abigail I would. She is truly gifted and her instincts are uncanny. She is authentic, realistic, and down-to-earth in her approach and provides concrete tools that are practical in implementing. I love knowing that she is there when I need her.

What A SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST saYS: 

Three things your teens wish you knew, but won't tell you on their own – so I will!  

  • They're not trying to fire us! They're trying to pull us in. I'll show you how to spot the difference, so you don't miss the cues. 
  • They WANT and NEED our respectful boundaries. 
  • They KNOW they're challenging us. And how we deal with those challenges largely defines how they will deal with theirs.

You'll leave this talk knowing that this is not the end of your relationship with your kids. It is the beginning of your relationship with them as adults. And now you'll know how to get that started on the right foot, so you can enjoy it for decades to come!

TENDING TO OUR TEENS

TALK #2

Holy cow, Abigail! Thank you so much for tonight's session! When I gauged reaction at the end with a "thumbs up, thumbs down, or thumbs to the side" from each person, there was actual cheering, and every thumb was up!

What parents say: 

If we want to be strong for them, first we need to learn how to be strong for ourselves. This talk will offer concrete ways to turn into the role models we long to be for them. 

  • What gets in the way of our ability to be the parent we want to be, and how we can rise above it. 
  • How to rewrite your past, so you can redefine your future.
  • How to make these the best years of YOUR life too, and not just theirs! 

You will leave this talk feeling less like a sandwich maker, and more like the soul shaper you truly are; actually excited to go home and GET to do this amazing job each day!
