Talking Parenting Premiere

 

Guest Ava Parnass 

In her book "Listen to Me, Please! Time-In, Not Time-Out", co-written with Dr. Ron Taffel, Ms. Parnass introduces a new technique that encourages parents and children to talk more openly with each other. Excerpts from the book appeared in Nick Jr. Family Magazine for 3 consecutive months.

 

Ms. Parnass has also created an innovative program called "Learning About Feeling", which has been implemented in nursery schools and day camps. In addition Ms Parnass holds parent/child workshops demonstrating her new techniques, and is a sought-after speaker for both parents and professional audiences, with a particular expertise in infant-to-school age children.

 

Currently, she is creating an animated television show, as well as the accompanying books and songs, that will combine her passions for psychology, music and children's emotional well-being. Her work reflect a lifelong passion for the psychological and spiritual aspects of life, and aspire to complement the healing force of music.
