What Parents Need to Know – Live Webcast, Feb. 10 Parenting Conference at New York's 92nd Street Y
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 21, 2014 -- How is the digital world impacting children? And how does it affect parenting? Can parents raise the child of their dreams? What does it mean to “take charge” as a parent?
Four of the country’s leading child-development experts tackle these questions and more at 92nd Street Y’s second annual Parenting Conference, Monday, February 10 from 9:15 a.m. to 1:30 pm.
The conference talks are available via Livecast to parents everywhere at http://www.92Y.org/livecast; parents can also follow the conversation on Twitter, #92Yparenting. Tickets to the half-day conference and reception at 92Y in New York are $99.
The experts are Catherine Steiner-Adair, psychologist, consultant, educator and author of The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age; Harold Koplewicz, psychiatrist and president of the Child Mind Institute in New York; Edward Hallowell, psychiatrist and founder of the Hallowell Centers (for ADHD treatment) in New York, Boston and San Francisco; and Ron Taffel, family therapist and chair of the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. For more information about the experts, visit: http://www.92y.org/parentingconf.
The conference kicks off with opening remarks by Parents magazine Editor-in-Chief Dana Points, who also interviews Dr. Steiner-Adair. It concludes with a reception, at which parents are invited to mingle and talk-one-on-one with the experts and each other.
Fretta Reitzes, creator of the 92Y Parenting Conference and director of 92Y’s children’s programming, sees the Parenting Conference as an opportunity to give parents helpful, relevant and timely information from top-tier psychologists and researchers who see thousands of children and families every year, all over the country. “At 92Y, our goal is always to help parents find the best way to understand and to parent their own children,” says Reitzes. “Every child, and every family is unique – we want to educate parents so they learn to trust themselves to make good decisions and enjoy their children more!”
