The Truth About Why I Hate Kids | Shannon Hrobak Sennefelder | TEDxYouth@Scranton

Shannon explains how we sometimes parent out of fear, in hopes we're making the best choices for our families. Drawing from the emotional trauma of situations experienced as a teen, Shannon Hrobak Sennefelder, CPC, CRC, took her trials of life and turned them into crisis management for others as an adult. These trials came to a forefront as she dealt with the prospect of becoming a new, young mother. Shannon recalls parenting from fear or doubt, concealing uncertainties and inadequacies in hopes of raising two strong-willed daughters. Shannon strives to enlighten others why parenting is an almost-impossible endeavor approached with hope and possibility, and the act to reveal our imperfections and vulnerable selves will open pathways to people who genuinely believe in us. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
