Laura Kastner, Ph.D. presents A to Z Toolbox for Successful Parenting

With all of the parenting advice available, don’t you wonder about which skills and qualities you should really focus on the most? Dr. Kastner has reviewed the research and distilled mountains of data for parents who want to concentrate their efforts on what are called “evidence based” practices. Her list of 26 core (A-Z) strengths allows parents to review their own profiles and be inspired to both enjoy their strengths and be motivated to shore up their weaknesses. All parents hope that their children to become healthy, successful and virtuous adults, but this lecture gives you parenting tools that can help you and your children achieve that goal.

She is a clinical professor of psychology and behavioral sciences at the University of Washington, a practicing psychologist and mother of two.
