#29: Want to Raise a Happy Kid? What our Students Truly Need to Succeed in this World (with Dr. Allison Rees)

Have you ever wanted to learn the key to raising successful, independent, and happy children? The key is not shooting for obedience! During this fascinating conversation, we explore how to side-step power struggles, how to explain anger to a child, how to stay calm when children are pushing us beyond our limit, and how to maintain age-appropriate expectations of our students. We examine how to set boundaries within our brave new social media landscape and how to support children when they are demonstrating depressive or anxious symptoms. Finally, we explore the two strategies all teachers should be implementing to develop psychological safety within their classrooms. Hope you enjoy! Allison Rees has been teaching LIFE Seminars since 1991 with her main focus on parenting. Allison and her colleague Dr. Alison Miller have produced two books: Sidestepping the Power Struggle and The Parent Child Connection. Her history involves a 12 year radio show, weekly appearances on the news, a private practice working with families, training other professionals, writing articles and perhaps her greatest feat, raising two children who are now amazing young adults.
