In her lectures, Ms. Ann Pleshette Murphy addresses many parenting issues, including: Parenting: Post 9/11 - It's hard enough to be an effective parent under the best of circumstances, but when our lives are filled with news of terrorism, war, anthrax, small pox, and airline disasters, it's hard to keep fears at bay. Ms. Ann Pleshette Murphy offers parents age-specific information on talking about the news; ideas for routines/rituals at home; and coping strategies when they're feeling stressed. Gifts that Last a Lifetime - Parents often wonder what children really need. Ms. Ann Pleshette Murphy believes that now more than ever, children benefit from several things: a spiritual life; opportunities to give; family traditions; a sense of their family's history; and - believe it or not - a little boredom!
