Presentation Summary
One-to-Two-Hour for Parents or Professionals

In this presentation, Dr. Ungar will show how parents can raise children to think ‘We’ in ‘Me’-thinking times. He’ll show that children and teens, even while they push their parents away, are still wanting and needing physical, emotional and spiritual connections. But there are barriers. Fewer responsibilities for children at home, no-touch policies in our schools, monster size houses in which children become invisible, and a lack of consequences for children when they make mistakes, are all threatening the connections kids need. Building these connections are still the best way to protect children and teens from the dangers of early sexual activity, drug abuse, and delinquency. Based on his clinical work and research, Michael will offer practical suggestions about how to raise children to become competent, caring contributors to their families, schools and communities.
