Screen time has become one of the most common sources of conflict at home.
What starts as “5 more minutes” often turns into repeated reminders, ignored limits, and arguments that escalate quickly.
This live 60-minute parent workshop focuses on what to do in the moment so these situations don’t turn into daily power struggles.
You’ll learn:
<ul>
<li>
What to say when your child resists turning off screens
</li>
<li>
How to set boundaries that actually hold
</li>
<li>
How to respond without yelling or repeating yourself
</li>
<li>
How to build cooperation without constant reminders
</li>
</ul>
This is especially relevant going into summer, when routines shift and screen time tends to increase.Message “SUMMER” or contact for details and access link

Free Virtual Workshop

Dublin-area parents may find this relevant with finals approaching.
Many families are seeing a similar pattern at home: 
kids doing fine on the surface, 
but more tension, less communication, or shutdown in day-to-day interactions
It often doesn’t look serious at first, 
which is why many parents wait
With academic pressure increasing this time of year, these patterns tend to intensify
As part of the DUSD Community Connects Parent Education Series, I’m hosting a free virtual workshop:
How to Stay Calm When Your Child Is Not
The session will focus on:
<ul>
<li>
what’s driving these patterns
</li>
<li>
what to do in real moments when emotions take over
</li>
<li>
how to respond without increasing pressure or conflict
</li>
</ul>

Academic achievement alone will not prepare teens for the AI-era workplace. This 90-minute workshop for parents and caregivers focuses on the social-emotional competencies — self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making — that form the foundation for workplace readiness.
Top employers agree. In a January 2025 Education Week feature, Google's global head of education impact, Jennie Magiera, named these exact CASEL competencies as traits her teams prize, noting that Google values social-emotional skills as much as technical talent.¹ Microsoft's vice president of education, Paige Johnson, added that the top skills needed to navigate complexity and change in the age of AI remain uniquely human.¹ These "durable human skills" also underpin the capabilities the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 identifies as essential for tomorrow's workforce, including resilience, flexibility, creative thinking, and lifelong learning.²
Led by Heather Thompson of Attachment Matters, LLC, the session explores how attachment styles shape a child's capacity to develop these competencies and thrive. You'll leave with practical strategies to build the secure foundation your teen needs for future career readiness.
