    Tues, November 10, 7:00-8:15pm PT
    Zoom webinar
    Join internationally recognized author and educator Rosalind Wiseman for an engaging evening on the "invisible operating systems"—the patterns we all learned long ago—that shaped how we communicate with the young people in our lives. Through humor, real-world stories, and practical strategies drawn from decades of work with students, educators, and families, "Raising Kids in a World We Didn’t Grow Up In: How to Stay Connected, Hold Boundaries, and Become the Adults Our Children Need" explores how parents can turn today's most common power struggles into moments of trust, connection, and growth. Recognize your own "invisible operating system":
     
    • ​Understand what's actually different about growing up today (hint: it's not just the phones)
     
    • ​Turn the most common power struggles with your kids into real conversations instead of standoffs
     
    • ​Learn specific strategies so you can signal to your children that they can come to you for support and guidance without solving the problem for them or taking over
     
    • ​Know how and when to bring in the other adults in your child's life, so you're a team instead of working at cross purposes
