Summit will include:

• Keynote speakers

• Breakout sessions with age specific discussions and support for elementary, middle school, and young adults in a post pandemic society

• Q & A

Our Q & A session will be unique this year.  We will utilize the format of Dr. Gurian’s/Pastor Wright’s popular podcast, “The Wonder of Parenting:  A Brain Science Approach to Parenting.”  Using questions gathered from participants throughout the day, Tim will challenge Michael to use a brain science approach in providing answers.  Tim and Michael will answer as many specific questions as possible in this hour while working together to load the answers with practical strategies and takeaways that are useful to parents, educators, and caregivers of boys in all age groups.
