This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Did you know today's youth view sex as no more meaningful than a handshake? Did you know what they will often perform oral sex on a stranger they just met at a party but not kiss them as that's too personal? That's tame compared to a lot of what Lisa has heard in her 40+ years of experience of working with and raising kids.
Parenting should be Fun & Easy. Get all the hard work done when they're little then relax & enjoy. Yes, there's some tweaking during the teen years, but otherwise ... easy.
My methods are based on 40+ years of experience of working with & raising kids. I use what works, not what people think “should” work. If the respect isn't mutual, it's useless.
Be the Fun Parent, not the Friend. What's the difference? Parents discipline, Friends don't.
I help parents find their Inner Leader so their children turn to them instead of their peers for guidance.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
