Dear Harker Families –
We want to remind you of the upcoming Common Ground presentation titled “Peaceful Parents, Happy Kids” with Dr. Laura Markham, on Tuesday, Jan. 30 at 7 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School on 13601 Saratoga Ave. in Saratoga. Dr. Laura Markham is a trained clinical psychologist and is the author of “Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids” and “Peaceful Parent, Happy Siblings.” She is the founding editor of AhaParenting.com, which contains a wealth of parenting resources for parents of kids of all ages. Dr. Markham also serves as a parenting expert for the Psychology Today and Mothering.com websites. Based on the latest research on brain development and clinical experience, Dr. Markham shares how fostering an emotional connection with your child creates real and lasting change. Dr. Markham explains the crucial necessity to always stay calm, parent with healthy limits, and provide empathy and clear communication to raise a self-disciplined child.
