Raising Resilient Kids: How to Teach Your Child to Resist Perfectionism, Manage Self-Criticism & Talk Back to Toxic College Pressure
Teens have never been more successful, yet they’ve also never struggled more with anxiety, stress and depression. In this talk, Rachel translates the toxic messages about achievement that young adults have internalized, and teaches parents the tools to help young people practice self-compassion, redefine success, pursue purpose, and—most importantly—let them know they are enough as they are.
Best Friends, Worst Enemies, and Everything in Between
When your child is a social target, it’s one of the most anguishing experiences a parent can have. In this talk, learn how and when to get involved when your child is struggling. Rachel provides parents with scripts and strategies to support kids through their most painful moments.
Be You: A Parent-Child Workshop
In this interactive workshop for youth and parents, Rachel uses guided questions to open up new conversations between parents and their children (ages 8 – 14). Participants come away with a new language to talk about toxic friends and being true to oneself. Youth practice communicating assertively and learn problem-solving tools with their parents that they can take with them to school the next day.
