2023 is bringing new challenges for parents. Raising kids today may feel like a dizzying set of issues: managing screen use (especially after a pandemic); promoting healthy social relationships; and avoiding social problems like bullying and cyberbullying. This presentation will focus on concrete, down-to-earth approaches that emphasize ways that parents can help build their child’s emotional resilience, improve social skills, reduce screen time use (without constant conflict), minimize fighting and bullying, and help their child emerge successfully from a global pandemic. Research can give us clear guidance, and supporting families and communities can help everyone raise happier children.
