Dynamic Dialogues: Why is My Child in Charge?

It’s bedtime; but, it isn’t. Your child wants one more glass of water or another book read. You’ve paged through books about how to rear your child. But, the advice in those books is hard to follow when you and your child are tired and emotions are running high.

Claire Lerner, TRS Early Childhood Center’s child development specialist, tackles this question in her recently published book, Why is My Child in Charge: A Roadmap to End Power Struggles, Increase Cooperation, and Find Joy in Parenting Young Children. Lerner will be joined in conversation with Tamara Keith, Temple member and NPR journalist, to delve into how parents can make essential mind shifts that make it possible to reduce challenging behavior and create more positive connections between parent and child.

This program will be offered in person and virtually.
