What makes a good parent?
Dr Liang will touch upon genetics, self-esteem and social ability to facilitate a discussion on how to parent, and our own adaptation to parenthood.
Holan takes a practical approach backed up by research to teach parents how to build a core of resilience in their children.
She will delve into her theory that time should be spent trying to observe, understand and accept our children and, in doing so, reveal parts of our true selves.
