Parenting from the inside-out involves relying on one’s inner knowing for important decisions. The purpose of this lecture is to empower parents with a scientific perspective that can inform and improve approaches to parenting and life. From research in the field of attachment, we learn that secure attachment predicts a child’s enduring sense of well-being, and that a child’s pattern of attachment can be predicted by the way a parent makes sense of his or her own experiences.

By exploring the science behind childhood development, Dr. Siegel presents a framework for relationships that foster empathy, awareness, and health. Whether you are a parent, an educator, or a therapist, understanding these key concepts will allow you to better support connections that thrive at work and at home.
