MORE ABOUT THRIVE

Our third and final THRIVE Parent Learning session! Next week, we will continue meaningful discussions inspired by The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, followed by Dr. Caroline Buzanko’s presentation on ‘Resilience Building’. She will share key strategies to foster autonomy, help children navigate challenges, and strengthen their coping skills, independence and emotional growth.

Whether you have read the book or are simply joining for the conversation, you are welcome to participate at any level. This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow parents, gain valuable insights, and feel supported in your parenting journey.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
