Description

Society places many expectations upon us: be on time; follow the rules; sit still in class; have fun at the party; have grit; finish what you start; be competitive in sports; if you are a guy, be tough; if you are a gal, be tender.

Without intending to, parents may adopt these same expectations and place them on their kids. However, some child temperaments are rare and unconventional, so these expectations may be completely unrealistic and hindering them from becoming the magical creatures they were designed to be. Society has already told these unicorns they don’t fit in, so it is critical that parents give them the accurate message that their brain physiology was purposely designed to bring beauty and balance to the world.

Learning Objectives

After the conclusion of this webinar, you will gain an understanding of:
• The Four Temperaments and the ways Nature and Nurture can affect your child
• How to identify the four personality traits most at risk
• How opposing brain functions can be causing unnecessary turmoil in your home

Speaker Bio

Wendy Gossett is a best-selling author, speaker and parenting specialist who helps parents deepen their connection with their children by using temperament psychology and neuroscience. For over twenty years Wendy Gossett, M.Ed., has worked as an educator both for the school system and for Fortune 500 companies. In addition to appearing on Inside Edition and writing for publications like Scary Mommy, she’s the author of a comprehensive Parent’s “User Manual” for their children. This User Manual was developed because of her own struggles with her unicorn daughter, Jordan. Through temperament psychology and brain imaging, Wendy concluded that she and Jordan have completely opposite brain wiring. Even with all her experience, she still needed a user manual that would help her understand her daughter, but it didn’t exist.

Over the last 9 years, Wendy has combined extensive research with hundreds of family case studies to create the user manual she had been seeking. In this hour-long webinar, she will give you some of these key concepts, so you can feel encouraged and know you are not alone on the journey!
