The Heart of the Prison Family
Koa Goode will speak on “The Power of Empathy: Reduce Stress and Build Better Adult/Child Relationships”
Stress is alarmingly pervasive in daily life. We all need tools to deal with tension in healthy and productive ways. In this webinar, with Keynote Speaker Koa Goode, we’ll explore the lasting benefits of learning to walk a while in someone else’s shoes, of exercising compassion in our interactions with others. This is especially important with family members, including our children. It’s easy to forget that kids have a wide range of feelings and stressors, just like adults. Understanding developmental milestones from infants to teens helps us as parents, teachers and caregivers to create nurturing relationships with children.
