Webinar Recordings
We all want our kids to be happy. And healthy. And… almost as if it goes without saying, we want our kids to live up to their potential. But in a highly competitive, rapidly changing, and uncertain world – a world in which traditional metrics have unraveled amidst COVID and distance learning – it's more important than ever to focus on connection and purpose as a path to doing well and being well.
In this webinar, Family Leadership Strategist Laurie Bodine and former Head of the Haverford School Ron Duska will share the latest research on the proven steps for supporting your kids to connect who they are to what they care about, and how they can map their path with purpose and joy – and in so doing, you can support them in being, becoming, and contributing their best.

We've all heard the research that EQ (emotional intelligence) eclipses IQ (cognitive ability) in predicting success. It makes sense. Being able to read, respond to, and regulate emotions is essential to faring well in school, work, and life. As such, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) has become a priority for most schools in the US, but it’s been slow to gain traction, and our kids can’t wait.
In this Strategic Parenting webinar, Family Leadership Strategist Laurie Bodine and former Head of the Haverford School Ron Duska will share the latest research on the importance of SEL, and what you can do to build the social and emotional skills your kids need most to thrive and prosper in today’s highly competitive and rapidly changing world.
