Have you ever looked at your child and thought: Who even is this kid? Different doesn’t have to mean difficult. Join us on March 20 for an empowering session with pediatric psychologist and parent coach Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart. Discover practical strategies to connect with your unique child — even when their temperament, interests and communication style differ from yours.

Learn how to:

  • Support your child’s unique strengths and interests
  • Create a supportive, inclusive relationship with each child in your family
  • Navigate conflict toward resolution and cooperation

The southernmost point of the Salish Sea, these lands were—and still are—a place of gathering, trade, and community for many Coast Salish peoples.
