Hey, there!
I have two upcoming presentations that are free via zoom — and that address two of my favorite topics: Awe & Emotional Literacy.
Feel free to forward this to parents or educators who might be interested.
Cheers,
Deborah
#1 How to Raise Awe-Filled Kids (Even When the World Feels Awful)
When: Wednesday, September 14: 5:30-6:30 PDT/8:30-9:30 EDT
About this event
Awe is what we feel when we encounter something vast, wondrous or beyond our ordinary frame of reference.
Awe inspires curiosity and strengthens our internal motivation to learn and create. But wonder isn’t just good for brain development — it’s also emotionally protective. And, given its cognitive and mental health benefits, awe might be our most overlooked, undervalued emotion.
Join Deborah Farmer Kris – child development expert, founder of Parenthood365, and author of the new children’s book “You Wonder All the Time” – as she dives into the research on awe and shares how to infuse your children's lives with a little more wonder.
REGISTER HERE (Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available.)
This special event is sponsored by generous donors from the Mills-Peninsula Hospital Foundation and the San Mateo County Office of Education, in partnership with The Parent Venture.
#2 How to Help Kids Develop Their Emotional Vocabulary
When: Thursday, September 29: 5:30-6:30 PDT/8:30-9:30 EDT
About this event
We all want to raise kind and thoughtful kids – children who can reach out with compassion and bounce back from challenges.
That’s why we need to attend to their emotional development. Students who are emotionally literate are better equipped to learn in school, deal with difficulties, form healthy relationships, and make responsible choices.
Join Deborah Farmer Kris – educator, child development expert, and author of the new children’s book “You Have Feelings All the Time” – to learn more about the science of emotion and how everyone benefits when we learn how to name, normalize, and navigate our feelings.
