One of the first parenting books I ever read was “Kids Are Worth It” by Barbara Coloroso.  When I attended her talks as a young mother, I didn’t know I was going to become a parent educator or speaker myself. I just wanted to drink up all her wisdom.  She is an internationally reknowned consultant on parenting, teaching, school discipline, positive school climates, bullying, grieving, non-violent conflict resolution and restorative justice. 

Such a pleasure to get this hour with her to talk about how to parent around the death and all the chaos that surrounds us during this pandemic.  Barbara will talk about the Tao of Family ( time, affection, optimism) and the 3 passages of grief. You’ll hear how to talk to a child about death as well as signs your child needs professional support.

In the podcast, Barbara recommends the following book:

I met Dr Rich a few years ago when we were both on a panel together discussing social media and youth mental health in Ottawa.  Check out the bio he sent in below, and you’ll see why he is my go-to for everything digital health related.  

We talked about his work at the clinic, definition of addiction, 4 categories of disorders, mental health and tech, responsible use of screen time, the pandemic, online schooling and much, much more.  Here is Dr Rich!
