Parents under Influence

How should one raise one’s child? What do we do with the feeling that the reactions we inherited from our own childhood, as well as the discipline we received, have an impact on our own disciplinary choices and influence our attitude towards our kids more than we are willing to admit.
French author Cécile David-Weill and French Morning journalist Céline Bruneau will engage in a conversation that will hopefully help parents to understand that it is not necessary to be perfect to nurture a happy and respectful relationship with one’s offspring!

In French. Free and open to the public. No RSVP necessary.
Media Partner: French Morning
