Your Mental Health - Good Enough Parenting for Tweens & Teens

About this event

Gather insights and practical takeaways from experts in the field of psychological science. In this session, Dr. Tim Cavell will discuss “good enough parenting” and why it’s a worthy goal. Being a parent can be tough these days. Dozens of books and articles offer competing answers to questions from how to help siblings get along to how much screen time is too much, and every decision you make feels important. It's no wonder that many parents feel tired, stressed, and unsure of whether they're doing a good job. One answer to parental burnout is "Good Enough Parenting: A Six-Point Plan for a Stronger Relationship with Your Child," authored by Dr. Tim Cavell and his colleague, Dr. Lauren Quetsch. In this talk, Dr. Cavell will discuss “good enough parenting”, why it’s a worthy goal, why the parent-child relationship is parents’ most important job, and what it means for parents to choose their battles wisely.
