When You Attend, You Will Learn...

We know children who do chores may exhibit higher self-esteem, be more responsible, and are often better equipped to deal with frustration, adversity, and delayed gratification.

In this webinar Tammy Schamuhn, Registered Psychologist & ICP Co-Founder, will delve into the surprising benefits of getting children involved in chores, how young to start them, and how to get resistant children involved.

We will also explore the idea of "allowance" and whether we should be paying for children to engage in household tasks. If you want to raise a child who is more helpful, self-motivated, and responsible this webinar is for you!

Join us on February 13th as we sit down with Tammy LIVE!

As a child who endured much trauma in her past she speaks about her personal experiences with family substance abuse, domestic violence, emotional abuse, and how the power of connection is integral to healing and overcoming adversity.
