Event Title:
Being the Grownup: Love, Limits and the Natural Authority of Parenthood while Sheltering in Place featuring Adelia Moore

Description:
Sheltering in place presents many challenges, and parenting while sheltering in place presents even more.

  • How do we convey a sense of confident authority when we are feeling acutely uncertain and vulnerable ourselves?
  • How do we respond to our children’s distress effectively, especially when it manifests as disruptive or disrespectful behavior?
  • How do we scaffold our children’s learning when neither they, nor we, want us to be their teachers?

Dr. Moore is a clinical psychologist, writer, folk artist, mother and grandmother who has advised and supported parents for decades. She will discuss how her concept of “natural authority” can be particularly helpful to parents right now.
