Today’s parents are frequently serious and exceptionally committed to enriching their children’s lives with multiple experiences.

Then why is the topic of how to talk with your young child of interest or of essential concern to mental health practitioners or parental figures?

In this free 5-segment presentation, I’ll offer information about current issues affecting children’s mental health and relationship connections and explain a 4-step approach that can help build increased confidence, values awareness, and communication competence in our little ones and those who care for them.

I hope you’ll join me in the next few videos exploring this issue and useful approaches.  See the outline of presentations below:
