Dr. Michael Thompson Presents: How to Raise Responsible Children

St. Anne's Episcopal School - Dining and Performing Arts Hall
St. Anne's - 303-756-9481
Co-sponsored by St. Anne's and Kent Denver

In this talk, Dr. Thompson mixes anecdote and clinical experience with research on outcomes of different parenting styles. He shares a warm-hearted recipe for providing children with an internal foundation for moral behavior. 
Early in life, every child needs a "secure base;" later a child needs a "framework" around him/her. Only when s/he feels securely anchored and contained will a child be able to follow rules consistently. How can a parent provide consistency and how can he or she successfully communicate with his or her child around issues of responsibility? What do we know about the different outcomes of democratic, authoritative and authoritarian parenting? Which method of parenting produces the most competent child? Many parents have heard this talk and felt both affirmed and challenged by it.
