She will share strategies to help tweens and teens pay attention to all of their emotions and take necessary growth risks.

Participants will learn to be attuned to what’s happening beneath behavior and teach kids how to cope when life gets hard. Bryson will demonstrate repairable mistakes and missteps and offer a guide to raising responsible and joyful youth who feel confident.

Continuing professional development units are available.
