In this presentation, Dr. William Stixrud, a clinical neuropsychologist, author, and BroadFutures Advisory Board Member, will discuss ways of communicating with young people that facilitate a healthy, respectful parent-child relationship, while promoting autonomy, agency, and resilience.

He will discuss the crucial importance for young people of having a healthy sense of control over their own lives, as well as communication strategies that can help teens and young adults find their own internal motivation.

Dr. Stixrud will include ideas from his first book, co-authored with Ned Johnson, The Self-Driven Child, and from their new book, What Do You Say? How to Talk With Kids to Build Motivation, Stress Tolerance, and a Happy Home.
