Parenting (Seminars, Events and Moms Night Outs)

Sil Reynolds, RN and Eliza Reynolds, mother-daughter workshop leaders and co-authors, are leading a revolution, smashing conventional wisdom on mothers and teenage daughters. Offering you two breakthrough guides in one, MOTHERING AND DAUGHTERING: Keeping Your Bond Strong Through the Teen Years (Sounds True, April 1, 2013) was created to help you find and protect the unique treasure that is your relationship. For moms, Sil addresses the central task of stopping the cycle of separation and anxiety that plagues so many, drawing on her clinical expertise to nurture the skills of listening, boundary setting, mirroring, containing, and more. Turn the book over, and Eliza shares empowering advice to teens looking to keep it real with Mom while also finding strength in their own intuition, friendships, and dreams. They provide inspiration and tools honed from their own experience, and from the hundreds of moms and girls they have helped in their sold-out workshops. “We designed this book to work for mothers and daughters wherever you are in your relationship—whether you are already thriving or merely surviving and feeling hopeless and disconnected from your bond,” say Sil and Eliza. Designer, Eileen Fisher, will be introducing the authors at the event.
