    Counseling Speaker Series: Elevating Discipline with the Brain in Mind

    Elevating Discipline with the Brain in Mind
    Tina Payne Bryson, Author, Speaker & Pediatric Psychotherapist
    Join Dr. Tina Payne Bryson as she shares transformative ideas that can serve as a go-to guide for parents and caregivers. With candid stories, compassion, and humor, Bryson will address the challenges we see in everyday parenting and help us approach them from a brain-based lens. She will revisit the true meaning of the word discipline—to teach so that kids learn essential skills—and show caregivers how “chasing the why” behind behaviors and combining nurture with structure can help us shift behaviors, strengthen relationships, and improve discipline. All are welcome.
