Progress Over Perfect: Combat Perfectionistic Culture & Create Young Positive Risk-Takers with Dr. Robyn Silverman

Join us on Tuesday, October 6 at 7:00 PM for a presentation by Dr. Robyn Silverman, a child and teen development specialist, parenting expert, and the best-selling author of How to Talk to Kids about Anything.

Studies show that our kids are feeling more pressure to succeed and become more “flawlessly perfect,” “effortlessly accomplished,” and “notably high-achieving” than ever. This creates what Dr. Robyn calls “Failure Fallback,” where kids worry so much about failing that they either stop trying or “become so obsessed with grades and accolades that their mental health, body, or both fail instead.”

In this powerful presentation, Dr. Robyn unpacks how trusted adults can talk to kids about (1) combating perfectionistic culture, (2) embracing progress over perfection and (3) becoming positive risk-takers in various areas of their lives. With her signature storytelling, specific conversation starters, and tactical takeaways, Dr. Robyn will leave parents equipped to make meaningful changes that will positively impact their children for a lifetime.
