Changing the Parenting Paradigm: Shifting From "Rules", to "Tools"

Connecting with our young people can be one of the greatest challenges in life, and it can cause much frustration for children and adults.  Whether you are a parent, primary caregiver, sports coach, or academic educator, maintaining positive connections with kids is exponentially more difficult in our high-tech, information overload era. The good news? It does not have to be this hard. Small changes in critical thoughts and actions make a HUGE difference.

This episode of Donell Edwards: VIEWPOINTS challenges many long held beliefs on parenting, and encourages a paradigm change from the use of household rules, to implementing the use of effective parenting tools.  Our special guest is author, speaker, and parenting coach Ms. Donna Volpitta.  Ms. Volpitta is co-author of the book “The Resilience Formula: A Guide to proactive– Not Reactive-Parenting” and creator of the Resilient Mindset Model, and co-creator of the Nametags Education Program. She holds Board positions for One Revolution Foundation (www.one-revolution.org) and Kids Helping Kids (www.kidshelpingkidsct.org), both of which develop resilience in youth. She is an expert contributor for Understood.org and presents at workshops throughout the country.
