About the Session:
In this timely and interactive presentation, Dr. Shimi Kang — a leading psychiatrist, bestselling author and mom of 3 — draws on the latest science to provide practical proven tools to help parents’ and educators’ most pressing concerns. By simplifying sophisticated neuroscience into the five ingredients of a “life diet”, Dr. Kang provides solutions to the often-vexing issues of helping kids (& ourselves) manage sugar, technology, vaping and bullying. The best part? These tools are based on brain science, thus applicable to all.
Whether it is the food we eat, the tech we use, or our consumer culture, we are bombarded with temptations that pull us from health, happiness and success through the manipulation of the brain’s motivation/dopamine circuits. No one is immune and our kids are at risk most.
