About the Event
This talk has been made possible with the generous co-sponsorship of the School of the Holy Child.
In this widely acclaimed talk, Julie draws on her research, conversations with educators and admission officers, and her own insights as a mother and the former Dean of Freshman at Stanford University to highlight the ways in which overparenting harms kids and prevents them from developing self-efficacy: the knowledge that one’s own actions lead to outcomes. Listen as she offers practical strategies that underline the importance of allowing children to make their own mistakes and develop resilience, resourcefulness, and the inner determination necessary to become healthy, thriving adults.
