Ann Douglas sparks conversations that matter about parenting and mental health. She is the creator of Canada's bestselling series of pregnancy and parenting books, The Mother of All books series, and the author of two critically acclaimed parenting guides: Happy Parents, Happy Kids and Parenting Through the Storm. Her most recent book is Navigating The Messy Middle: A Fiercely Honest and Wildly Encouraging Guide for Midlife Women.
If you've already met Ann via one her books, you know what you can expect from one of her presentations: to be inspired, informed, and entertained. Not only will she shift your thinking about what the challenges that parents and children are facing in 2023: she'll move you to action as well. By the end of Ann's presentation, you'll be eager to embrace the important role that you have to play in supporting parents: in helping them to feel confident and capable as opposed to anxious, guilty, or overwhelmed.
Looking for strategies for supporting parents and children who are struggling? In this compassionate and idea-rich presentation, you will learn why so many parents are struggling with feelings of anxiety, guilt, and overwhelm—and how this affects both their health and their parenting; how the health of parents affects the health of kids—and vice versa—and what this means for families who are struggling with challenges both big and small; seven things the parent of a child who is struggling really needs to hear from early years professionals (and how to deliver these all-important messages in an empowering and guilt-free way); seven proven strategies for connecting with parents and building trust; and eight simple-yet-powerful ideas you can share with parents to help them to feel calmer and more confident in their parenting.
