Zoom Class for Parents

with the Oakland Peace Center PeaceMaker Series

Kids are back to school (sort of)—and it’s a great chance for parents to tune up their own skills!

Join me for a Saturday Night Stuck-at-Home Survival social for parents:

Peaceful Parenting in Stressful Times

A Zoom class for parents

Seeking greater family ease, connection, and mental/emotional health

with Kristen Caven
featuring Dr. Louise Hart
Authors of The Bullying Antidote, The Winning Family, and On the Wings of Self-Esteem.

September 26th

6:30pm—8pm PST

The focus of this class is on strategies for building positive emotion, which lowers stress, expands possibility, and develops inner resources. Children whose parents help them build positive emotion handle stress better, have healthier social lives and are less susceptible to peer pressure. Experiencing positive emotions helps everyone modulate our reaction to stress and allows us to recover from the negative effects of stress more quickly and completely.
Games, Giveaways, Conversation & Information
All attendees will receive a free book or class.
