April 17: Webinar with Dr. Dan Peters on “Parenting with Awareness, Purpose, and Intention”

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.

On Wednesday, April 17, 12 noon PacificDr. Dan Peters, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Summit Center will speak on “Parenting with Awareness, Purpose, and Intention.”

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 elite team? Will they get into a good college? Will they be successful? We all want the best for our children and spend considerable time engaging in activities 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,  which is aligned with your goals for your child. 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

Past Offerings

Executive Functioning Support Course: Raising An Organized Kid, with Deanna Kim, M.Ed.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your family’s ever-growing list of after school activities? Are you up late at night helping your child finish a project that’s due tomorrow? While many of us with children struggle with planning, organization, and time management, developing a family system can be the key to overcoming these challenges.

 This 5-week course with instructor Deanna Kim, M.Ed. will offer parents the unique opportunity to work with our staff to develop their own family system, and learn more about executive functioning and how it impacts our day-to-day lives.

Sessions will focus on planning through the use of a family calendar, time management, routines, sustaining attention, how to work through the homework frustrations, and emotional regulation. Each participant will leave with the tools they need to help their family get back on track and more organized.

Space is limited, and pre-registration is required, so please register early.

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. CHECK BACK FOR FUTURE COURSE DATES.
