Small Brooklyn Webinar: Raise Confident Kids @ 12pm

About this event




How can we raise our kids to be self-confident, without accidentally getting in their way? Sometimes, parents’ anxiety about getting it right can lead us to be overprotective—this can hinder kids’ opportunities to practice how to handle it when things go wrong. 

Dr. Rebecca Abbott-Sinclair of Small Brooklyn Psychology will teach practical strategies to reduce overparenting, foster your child’s autonomy, and manage your own parenting anxieties. She’ll explore how today’s parenting trends impact children and will share evidence-based, actionable tips to help kids increase their own coping skills and resilience. Rebecca will save time for a Q&A session at the end, moderated by Dr. Mandi White-Ajmani.



When: Tuesday, February 11th Time: 12:00pm - 1:00pm


Cost: Free for PSP members, $25 for non-members
