Critical Topics in Parenting: The Power of Presence with Joy Thomas Moore
This webinar is part of our Critical Topics in Parenting series, created by PEP to address the pressing issues facing parents today.
Join us for a live webinar with Peabody award winner and author Joy Thomas Moore as she discusses her book, The Power of Presence.
After her son, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, wrote a best-selling memoir about the obstacles he faced as a fatherless young boy, Joy Thomas Moore was often asked: How did you handle single parenting and having a career?
Joy subsequently wrote The Power of Presence: Be a Voice in Your Child’s Ear Even When You’re Not With Them, in which she identifies seven pillars for being a positive influence and forming meaningful bonds with each child.
Joy joins PEP for a webinar to discuss key lessons from her book:
- Being present through the Seven Pillars of Presence – heart, faith, mind, courage, financial freedom, values, and connectedness
- How feeling the power of presence can guide and influence children in difficult situations
- Recognizing that each parent’s experience, wisdom, and courage help guide parents and caregivers in supporting children
In a time when more and more parents feel pressured to ‘do it all,’ this webinar will share concrete ideas and inspirational stories to help you set priorities for making the time with your children count.
Registration includes access to the live webinar, handouts and resources, and audio/video recordings.
