Building Resilience and Self-Esteem: What a Parent Can Do
Based on my book ‘Bringing Up Confident, Happy Children’, I will present practical parenting principles to build your children and teenagers self-esteem and to help them be resilient to life’s challenges.

– motivating children to learn in a positive way that builds on their strengths
– helping children discover their niche and make a contribution
– keeping connected to your children in a supportive way
This talk is suitable for parents of children of all ages to attend and is interactive with plenty of opportunity for Q&A.
Venue: Zoom online
Dates: Wednesday 1st June 2022
Time: 7.45-9.00pm
Cost: €15*
Further information and bookings about this talk is available on my website here.
*The proceeds of this talk will go to the Irish Girl Guides Howth unit as part of their fundraising efforts to support their team who will represent Ireland in the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Challenge International Open in Rio this August.GoFundMe page
