"In a complicated world, big issues make both parents and children anxious–from disturbingly routine active shooter drills at school, to frightening news about climate change, pandemics, social justice issues, and violence. It's all too easy for parents to feel at loss for how to equip their child to deal with it all in a healthy way."
Join other parents and hear from the author, child psychologist and professor at the University of Minnesota’s College of Education and Human Development, discuss her new book.
