AHS17

As a society, we’ve forgotten how to challenge our children to achieve their true potential, and, in turn, be challenged by children to become insightful mentors. Adults instinctively possess the intelligence necessary to parent effectively, but with modern stresses and digital dominance, we’re losing access to our “primal parenting brain”. Since the time-honored tradition of raising families communally is fading out, we’re not instilling children with the virtues that will ensure personal happiness and social prosperity. Integrating the sciences of neuroplasticity, evolutionary psychology and personal growth with tribal wisdom, this presentation will highlight the ancestral skill of mindfully “challenging” children as the way to activate their own natural growth. We’ll be highlighting the steps that society can take to provide a “way”, or path, towards successful child raising. Participants will have a practical road-map to lead their families in the right direction.
