Not just someday, but right now.
However, while millions of parents are striving to do their best, there's still widespread uncertainty about the most effective parenting strategies.
If you’ve ever wondered:
It’s time to get the ANSWERS.
When you join the Summit, you'll gain access to insights on parenting strategies, child development, mental health, and digital safety.
And you'll discover how the same techniques that strengthen your family's bond can also contribute to building a more compassionate and understanding future for our children!
Social media, cyberbullying, unprecedented academic pressures, and the erosion of mental health are infiltrating our children's lives — undermining their well-being and distorting social norms.
These challenges compromise your child's development and lay the groundwork for long-term issues.
It’s more important than ever to find out the answers.
Our experts are sharing their best strategies to enhance your parenting, support your child's mental and emotional health, and create a happy and peaceful family - with practical, insightful, and effective parenting techniques!
Kids who are yelled at may experience shrinkage in key regions of their brains. They are more likely to experience depression and anxiety, and are more prone to being angry and aggressive. [1][2]
“Yelling at children may have consequences that go beyond those of spanking. Parents who yell may miss out on a chance to teach children to regulate their emotions.” - Stephanie Parade, PhD, professor of psychiatry and human behavior, Brown University
“Recent brain-imaging studies conclusively show that excessive screen exposure can neurologically damage a young person's developing brain in the same way that cocaine addiction can.” - Glow Kids; Nicholas Kardaras, PhD
Technology is so hyper-arousing and addictive that Dr. Peter Whybrow, director of neuroscience at UCLA, calls screens “electronic cocaine” and some neurologists call them “digital heroin.” [3][4]
Between the years 2016 and 2019 one in eight teenagers has been diagnosed with ADHD. And that’s just the ones that were actually tested and diagnosed to have a clinical condition. [5]
A 2019 study found that children who spent more than 3 hours per day on social media faced double the risk of experiencing poor mental health outcomes including symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dr. Jonathan Haidt refers to this trend as an Epidemic of Mental Illness. [6][7]
1 in 5 children (20.5% of youth worldwide) now struggle with anxiety symptoms. The National Institutes of Health estimates that 1 in 3 of all children will experience an anxiety disorder sometime in their lives. [8][9]
But the good news is… you’re in the right spot to learn how you can protect your family!
The Summit will empower you to navigate the complexities of modern parenting with confidence and joy!
