Joining us today is Kelly Benford, our Program Director at Parenting Matters and Bridget Harry, Director of Marketing and Development. It was fascinating to learn about Kelly’s unique ability to connect with parents, understand their challenges and barriers, and deliver strategies that are unique to each family. She shares with us real-life situations you’ll recognize and practical techniques that can help ease tension so you can connect with your child. We think you’ll find her explanation of “reacting vs. responding” to a stressed child particularly useful. Stick around until the end to hear Bridget talk about a mother who finally found her voice to tell her kids she loved them. And don't forget. We want to hear from YOU!!
