Speaker: Kathleen Fischer, Family and Parenting Coach

Have you noticed that more and more kids seem anxious or depressed? Does it seem like so much of growing up is weighty and serious and pressured? Do you notice that your kid might be really great at school or athletics but doesn’t seem to have much along the lines of practical smarts?

It has been joked that parenting is the last great competitive sport in North Dallas.   And, it has been said that parents are no longer “helicopter parents;” they’ve become more like “lawn mower parents.” It might just be possible that all of our parental DOING is directly related to our kids’ UNDOING.
