With a blend of science and humor, Dr. Payne Bryson will explain how emotional presence strengthens relationships with children and empowers them to move through emotions like stress and disappointment. Participants will learn how to guide young people toward independence, balanced emotions and having the confidence to make wise choices amid struggle. Dr. Payne Bryson will also explain tantrums and challenging behavior as she demonstrates how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures.

Dr. Payne Bryson is co-author with Dan Siegel M.D. of New York Times bestsellers The Yes Brain, No-Drama Discipline, and The Power of Showing Up: How Parental Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How Their Brains Get Wired.
