Parenting Solid Citizens: Engaging the Golden Rules of Life to Raise Resilient and Compassionate Whole-Hearted Kids

Original Air Date Wednesday, April 28, 2021

Transitioning to working and learning online due to the pandemic has shifted the way we parent and the way our kids learn.

There are many silver lining aspects of staying at home such as enhanced social connections between parents and teenagers, and increased collaboration skills but there are also several not-so-bright facets such as, it is easy for the mind to wander after several hours of screen time and critical social interactions between children are lost.

To find out how parents can raise a solid, resilient citizen despite the challenges, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors of parenting books.

Darby Fox discusses how modeling is the most effective tool a parent has to teach kids, and Jeanie Cisco-Meth offers tips on how we can help children tame internal and external bullies.
