Join best-selling author Julie King for an interactive workshop introducing practical tools from her How to Talk series that reduce conflict, strengthen connections, and promote cooperation. Through engaging exercises and relatable examples, Julie will demonstrate how humor, creativity, and respect can help parents navigate tricky situations without resorting to bribes, threats, or punishments.
Parents of children from Kindergarten through 8th grade will leave with actionable strategies to transform moments of frustration into opportunities for connection and collaboration. Whether you’re managing morning mayhem or guiding your child through big feelings, this session offers a whole new perspective on the parent-child relationship.
