Our Tips for Raising Younger Leaders

If you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or mentor of elementary-aged kiddos, this one’s for you!

Earlier this year, I was invited to speak at a Moms program that focuses on the K-5 stage of parenting. Given that most of our parenting talks focus on the teen and young adult years, this was a fun extension of our mission of training up leaders. After all, it’s never too early to start building those skills that will serve a lifetime!

It’ll come as no surprise that my in-person talks were cancelled. But, at the host’s request, I created a video of my talk that we were later able to edit for general audiences. 

“Parenting Today with Tomorrow in Mind,” offers encouragement and parenting strategies to navigate the elementary-aged years, while providing a glimpse ahead to the dynamic teen years. Here is a sneak preview of some topics I address:

·      Cultivating self-awareness, leadership skills, core values, and life skills

·      Creating a positive home environment

·      Parenting tips and ideas for raising “littles”

·      Parenting styles and their impact

·      Preparing your communication skills for the teen years

 I hope you, and your friends who are “in this space,” enjoy my talk and this video! You can access it here at:  https://vimeo.com/413783760

To better parenting!
