Whole-Hearted Parenting: Strengthening Balance and Connection with Emotional Intelligence
Joshua Freedman, author and co-founder and CEO of Six Seconds, discusses his new book "Whole Hearted Parenting: How to Use Emotional Intelligence to Create More Peace, Collaboration and Joy."  Freedman draws on 16 years as a parent and decades as an educator and expert in the field of emotional intelligence to show parents ways to connect with their children so that both parents and children find more happiness and peace in their relationships.
Parenting is a delight - except when it's not!  We've all experienced those moments of "emotional idiocy" when we over-react or miss important clues... How can we be more intelligent with our own emotions and our children's? And how can we teach them the essential skills to be more aware, intentional, and purposeful?  In an engaging, interactive session, Josh will help parents transform breakthrough neuroscience into practical tools.

It is no secret; parents are more stressed out than ever before as the demands of two-parent working families, single parent working families and the complex social environments test even the steadiest of parents.  Through a series of personal essays and examples, this practical and inspiring new book shows how parents can use the time-tested methods of emotional intelligence to navigate the strong emotional waters of parenthood. This book is less an advice manual and more of a helpful companion and friendly storyteller for parents seeking a better way to raise their children.

Whole Hearted Parenting combines the wisdom of a traveler, the deep expertise of an educator and an emotional intelligence pioneer, with a dash of humor to create a book that proves parenting "doesn't have to be this way."
