DAY 1  THEME:

 EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: THE FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE LEARNING

Here are specific speaker edits for the first day:

 Alyssa Blask Campbell

Little Tots, Big Emotions!

SITUATION:

All you want is for your child to eat his dinner. You ask nicely. You count, but you don’t put him in time out because you want the family to eat dinner together. You ask again, more firmly. The situation escalates, you begin to yell—and your kiddo spits food everywhere.

SOLLUTION:

If this resonates, know that you aren’t alone and that there are simple ways to add peace and authentic connection to your family life in less than a week. You’ll discover simple ways to soothe yourself so that you can meet your child with confidence, even in the midst of a tantrum or other big emotion, with the grace and patience she deserves.

Picture Books Should Be Interactive!

As your Summit host, I’m also a Best-Selling Children’s Book Author/Vision Educator/Reading Literacy Advocate. Each of my Mama Bear and Baby Bear books teaches Baby Bear a life lesson. In addition, they are interactive. At the bottom of several pages will appear the following:

A question for you, my reader?

What do you think Baby Bear really wants to do outside their cave?

It gives the parent/guardian a way to have a discussion with the little one before turning the next page to find the answer.

Dr. Nan Nelson

Having the Birds and the Bees Talk with Your Child

• Having the Birds and Bees Talk with your child is happening at a much earlier age than when you were a kid!

• Let your child ask questions freely and understand how to reply
• Kids will use slang language for words related to sex and as a parent, you should set the story straight by explaining the correct words. The child will then go back to his friends using the correct terminology.

Cameron Irish

CONNECTING TO THE NATURAL WORLD AND GROWING FOOD

Freedom Starts in The Kitchen

Is your kid a “picky” eater? Yes, Kids Will Eat What They Create!

 The joy of “creating” in the kitchen 

• Importance of taking care of yourself

• The most important survival skill for our kids to learn

• Developing in your kids a sense of courage, confidence, and creativity

• Freedom comes from choice.

• Kids will learn not only how to cook, but how to take care of themselves, make choices for their needs, and problem-solve

• It takes courage to get in the kitchen and try new things
• With practice comes confidence. And creativity is the ability to “think outside the box” (quiet, literally, in this case).

 DAY 2 THEMES:

• ALTERNATIVE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES: PARENTS CAN NOW MAKE INFORMED CHOICES ABOUT EDUCATIONAL NEEDS FOR THEIR CHILDREN
• LEARNING DISABILITIES: HELPING PARENTS LEARN THE SIGNS 

Dr. Ali Lankerani

The Parent Whisperer Twice Named America’s Doctor

You Are a Parent, Did You Pick Up Your Owner’s Manual Guide For Your Children?

This session will cover all you need to know about Autism and…

Amazingly, no one teaches us how to be effective and positive parents.  Something that is vital to the propagation of our species as well as how we impact our planet is hardly ever addressed directly until we find out that we are responsible for another life.  The world is desperate for leaders.  Individuals that have a vision or a message.  People who feel they can make a difference for the better.  People who are happy, healthy, and lead full lives.

It’s hard enough to know yourself and tackle day to day life challenges. Learn how to get your needs met, be on the same page with your partner, as well as tips on parenting children who will lead full lives.

• There is more pain from repression, engagement, or escaping painful feelings than any pain from feeling the feeling

• We see the world as we are, not as it is.
• We can shift our perspectives to engage in perspectives that are beneficial to us

Turning Pain Into Purpose

TEDx And Emotionally Naked Storyteller

Anne Moss Rogers has built a following on the most taboo of subjects—suicide, and the mental illness and addiction that often trigger it. After trying to find help for her once joyful son and rap artist, including wilderness therapy and therapeutic boarding school, Charles met heroin, a love affair that ended with his suicide on June 5, 2015. This presentation is about her journey to healing by dragging an unpopular topic into the spotlight, how giving back has helped her heal, and how a blog community that came together in their shared pain has saved lives in the most surprising and unconventional of ways. 

• How stigma played a role in Charles’s self-esteem, substance misuse, and suicide
• One mom’s unconventional way to save lives
• How to spot someone at risk for suicide and what to do/say
• How one mom turned grief into action to find a path to healing

Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas

Innovation In Men’s Mental Health: Humor, Media & Digital Engagement

Why should men watch this presentation?

• Many men feel overwhelmed by job and family stressors and are suffering in silence.
• Men who start to experience high levels of distress may turn to self-medicating with drugs, alcohol, sexual behavior, gambling, or spending compulsively as a way to cope – this often leads to many more problems.
• Males make up 70-80% of suicide deaths
• Men who hold traditional norms of masculinity are often very self-reliant and least likely to reach out for help.
• Men rely on peers to get through tough times — this presentation will give men a powerful tool to help others they are worried about.

Why should women watch this?

• Female friends and partners of men who are facing tough times can have a big influence in getting the men connected to support.
• The presentation will give them tips on how to approach men who are reluctant to seek help.

The Emotionally Intelligent Solution: Emotionally Intelligence Economy

Brain Training The World For Joy and Transformation Using “Playing Cards!”

THE PROBLEM

We define a social-emotional crisis as any time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger that requires resolution for healthy social and emotional development. We believe that individuals (even entire organizations) can get stuck in a social-emotional crisis, which results in mental health and performance challenges.

Based on the Eight Stages of Development developed by Erik Erikson, we see eight different types of social-emotional crises.

THE SOLUTION?

We combine game dynamics with brain science (“neuro-gamification) for the fastest way to improve emotional intelligence and social-emotional performance.
