We could all use some good news about bad behavior, right?
Katherine Reynolds Lewis is here to give that good news to all parents who have ever struggled with bad behavior, and let’s be honest: that’s every single one of us.
Katherine is a journalist, a certified parent educator, and spent five years trying to understand kids’ bad behaviour - why they don’t just do what we want, why the “terrible twos” is a thing, and why bad behavior is actually a good thing according to the research!
She’ll be sharing the reasons why it’s not your imagination that there is more “bad behavior” now than in previous generations, why our kids are absolutely experiencing a crisis in self-regulation, and what happens in a child’s brain when they are yelled at or shamed.
Katherine will also be breaking down some of the common misconceptions about self-regulation and discipline techniques and diving into what behavioural science has told us about how to handle disregulation and raise thriving kids - and what really matters when we make a mistake as parents.

Do you know that feeling?
If you’re great at work, you’re not the mom you want to be, if you’re focused on your kids, your work begins to suffer, and somewhere in all of this, the time you spend on your partner, friendships, relatives, chores...and (maybe you) all feel at odds with one another.
Can you relate?
As modern moms we’re skilled at juggling it all, but keeping all those balls in the air can leave us drained and burnt out.
