The talk examines how digital technology and common parenting practices interfere with child development, and it gives audiences practical ways to rebuild independence at each developmental stage.
Water takes the shape of the container it's in. Children work in much the same way.
In this signature talk, Nicole will show your audience how to become the container that their children need. She talks about the many profound ways children today are being stunted in their development. She explains how today's poor parenting practices coupled with the use of technology decreases independence and maturity.
She also offers ways in which parents and educators can follow their instincts and give children what they need in each phase of their development. Parents and educators will walk away from this presentation feeling empowered with the tools they need to course correct and set children back on the right track to becoming successful young adults.
In this talk, Nicole will help your audience reconnect with their instincts and awaken to their own power to make a difference in children's lives. Because children (and teens!) are resilient. And it's not too late.
