Parenting with Less Stress and More Success

Saint Michael’s Presents:

Family Matters: Raising Healthy Children in Challenging Times

Robert Evans, Ed.D

There is no harder job than being a parent. Almost nothing else touches so much of a person so deeply—or so unpredictably—and there is no training for it. This was true pre-COVID, as the pace of life accelerated, media influences intensified, and the future grew less predictable. After two years of pandemic, many parents find it even harder to be confident, to manage not just their children’s stress but their own. Dr. Evans will offer concrete suggestions to help.

Rob Evans is a psychologist, former high school and preschool teacher, and former child and family therapist. He has consulted to more than 1,700 schools in the U.S. and internationally, and spoken to hundreds of parent groups. His presentations are known for their lively wit and plain talk.
