Summit Center Webinar: Parenting with Awareness, Purpose, and Intention
with Dr. Dan Peters
Virtual
Event Info
Summit Center is proud to present the first in a series of webinars from our team of professionals, speaking on topics important to our families.
Dr. Dan Peters, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Summit Center will speak on “Parenting with Awareness, Purpose, and Intention” on Wednesday, April 17, at 12 noon.
About the talk: Parenting is hard. We are bombarded continually with messages that create fear and worry about our children’s future. Will they be able to take care of themselves? Will they make the team? Will they get into a good college? Will they be successful? We all want the best for our children and spend considerable time and resources to meet this goal. This talk will address the importance of a parent’s awareness about themselves as key to raising healthy, engaged, and happy children. By being engaged in one’s own life, being clear about where you came from, and being aware of what you want to pass on to your children, you can parent with purpose. Come learn how to use your own increased awareness to help your kids reach their potential.
FREE. Recordings will be available after the event for a fee. Register Here
