Join me today starting at 11 am ET with Ellen Galinsky on TheMotherhood.com

Today starting at 11 am ET, I have an exciting opportunity to co-host a live talk on TheMotherhood.com with Ellen Galinsky about her work with Mind in the Making: The Seven Essential Life Skills Every Child Needs. Ellen’s work is a powerful combination of solid science presented in an engaging and informative style–strategies that real parents can start benefiting from right way. I interviewed Ellen for my most recent Mojo Mom Podcast and it will be fun to connect with her and TheMotherhood audience again today.

The talk starts at 11 am and runs all afternoon, but the best time to catch me there live will be the first hour.

It’s easy and fun to join TheMotherhood.com, the wonderful web site for Moms founded by Cooper Munroe and Emily McKhann. You may remember that we had a talk there last fall that became the basis for the final chapter in our new book Courageous Parents, Confident Kids. So I hope you will join in today’s talk!

Here’s more information about today’s live talk on TheMotherhood:

We’re talking with Ellen Galinsky about her brand new, already bestselling book “Mind in the Making” (it’s #1 on Amazon’s parenting list) about the seven most important “life skills” for children growing up today.

Ellen wants our kids to learn for grades and learn for life. To communicate effectively, work well with diverse groups of people, think outside the box, and be ongoing learners.

And to have all that, they need these seven skill: Focus and Self Control; Perspective Taking; Communicating; Making Connections; Critical Thinking; Taking On Challenges; Self-Directed, Engaged Learning.

“It may well be the next iconic parenting manual, up there with Spock and Leach and Brazelton, one that parents turn to for reassurance that all is more or less okay, reminders of how to make it better and glimpses of what’s to come.” – Lisa Belkin, The New York Times, April 29, 2010
