Our New

Format is Back!

Ana Homayoun and Pamela Wu will share the stage for a fireside chat followed by Q&A.

Author, academic advisor, and executive functioning strategist

With 25 years of experience supporting students and families — and four books' worth of wisdom to draw from — Ana will discuss:

How to help our kids build the capacity to reflect, adapt, and course-correct in a world that looks nothing like the one we grew up in
The foundational skills that predict academic success, emotional well-being, and career readiness, and how any family can start building them now
Why loosening the grip of achievement pressure and college-admission anxiety opens the door to a richer, more expansive vision of success for our kids (and ourselves!)
What it looks like to help our kids build the systems, relationships, and self-awareness to encourage them to write their own blueprint for a meaningful life

Clinical psychologist, award-winning author, and international speaker

Drawing on extensive research in psychology and broad clinical experience as a child, family, and adult therapist, Dr. Edlynn will discuss:

How to dial down the intensity of modern hyper-parenting and help families bring common sense, balance, and joy back to parenting

What autonomy-supportive parenting is and how it reduces parental burnout and helps our kids become the capable, confident people we want them to be
How the science-based strategies of autonomy-supportive parenting nurture three core human needs: relatedness, competence, and autonomy
How to use autonomy-supportive strategies at home in real-life parenting dilemmas, such as managing technology and promoting your child's emotional well-being
