We all love our children dearly, but at times it seems they conspire to make our lives challenging!
According to neuropsychiatrist Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., this is just evidence that our kids’ developing minds are calling the shots. Siegel, author of The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child’s Developing Mind, will speak about the impact of parenting on children’s brain development and the latest research about how young minds are wired and how they mature. Dr. Siegel will share specific ideas to help parents turn outbursts and arguments into opportunities to foster our children's emotional intelligence—helping us to raise calmer, happier kids along the way. He’ll explain how to use discord to encourage empathy and greater social success, how to appeal to the left brain’s affinity for words and reasoning to calm tantrums and bodily tension, and how to use physical activity to shift children’s moods, among other strategies. A clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, Dr. Siegel is also on the faculty of the Center for Culture, Brain, and Development and the Co-Director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center at UCLA. He is the Executive Director of the Mindsight Institute, an educational center devoted to promoting insight, compassion, and empathy in individuals, families, institutions and communities.
