RENOWNED PARENTING EXPERT NED HALLOWELL  

 Crazy Busy: Coping Strategies To Help Children and Parents

•   Does your family feel busier than they’ve ever been before?
•   Does your family have more to do than ever - with less time to do it?
•   Do you wonder if your family can keep up the pace much longer?
•   Are you all overbooked and about to snap?

Do you answer the simple question: How are you doing? with a frazzled …. Crazy Busy?                    

In his presentation on The Distracted Family: Overstretched, Overbooked and About to Snap!, world renowned parenting expert Edward M. Hallowell, MD gives practical advice on how to take charge of today’s super-busy world so that it does not take control of you or your children.  Cutting deeper than the usual advice on how to manage modern life,  he will show you how to survive in an ultra-competitive, ultra-fast, attention deficit society and remain sane.
