Lecture: "Independence or Permissiveness"

What permissions can we give a child, and where should we draw the line of their independence? How can we recognize true autonomy and avoid permissiveness? These questions concern every parent while raising teenagers. In fact, all of them are combined into a comprehensive and meaningful topic: boundaries and authority in parents’ relationships with children. How not to go too far and at the same time set clear limits? Is it reasonable to say that for a certain age, children shouldn’t be forbidden anything? What misconceptions are associated with the concept of independence, and what consequences can they have? All of this will be addressed in the lecture “Independence or Permissiveness” with psychologist Lyudmila Petranovskaya.

Lyudmila Petranovskaya is a recognized psychologist, a winner of the President of the Russian Federation’s education award, and author of books such as “An Adopted Child Came to the Classroom,” “How You Behave, 10 Steps to Change Difficult Behavior,” “Difficult Age,” and “Selfmama. Lifehacks for a Working Mom.”
