Hunt, Gather, Parent: What Ancient Cultures Can Teach Us with Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff 11-3-21

Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff traveled globally with her young daughter and discovered that the oldest cultures in the world had mastered the art of raising happy, well-adjusted children, and had much to teach those of us at home. Without resorting to bribes, threats, or chore charts, the caregivers in three of the world’s most venerable communities, Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle, and Hadzabe families in Tanzania, seem to have developed a remarkably effective approach for teaching children emotional intelligence and self-control. In this presentation and in her bestseller "Hunt, Gather, Parent," Doucleff shares research conducted with psychologists, neuroscientists, anthropologists, and sociologists and explains how parenting strategies built on cooperation instead of control, trust instead of fear, and personalized needs instead of standardized development milestones can positively impact children’s mental health and development and will help us rethink the ways we relate to our children. Join us to learn about a universal parenting paradigm adapted for American families that helps protect young people from the stress and anxiety all too common in our children. --------- Visit the Glenbard Parent Series YouTube channel to view video clips from esteemed authors and speakers or watch full presentations of many of our events:    / @gpsparentseries   *All are welcome to our many virtual events.* Visit our webpage to see upcoming speakers or view the brochure for the current school year: https://www.glenbardgps.org.
