28 EXPERTS FROM THE FIELDS OF NEUROLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY, MENTAL HEALTH COACHING, TEACHING, EDUCATIONAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO HELP PARENTS RAISE THEMSELVES TO RAISE CHILDREN THAT THEIR WORLD NEEDS.
I am thrilled to see a conference hosted by an Indian parenting website that has brought together renowned names in the various fields of parenting. Not only are the presenters known, the topics have been curated to give parents practical ways to better themselves. Areas like resilience, social emotional well being, skilling for adolescents, etc. are relevant and needed areas of discussion. I got to see a preview of a session on mindfulness by Christopher Willard and was impressed with the ease with which Devishobha guides the discussion to the needs of the Indian parent community. I am looking forward to listening to more of the speakers during the conference.
I am an avid researcher regarding parenting techniques, especially for complex or spirited children, and have already found this summit so helpful. I especially loved Bonnie Harris’s piece. Thank you for bringing all of these great resources to the world in a way we can easily access.

MEET YOUR HOST
Those annoying little questions in your head!
A Virtual Conference is a conference that allows remote attendees to access events and talk sessions by speakers from anywhere through their computers. The conference is hosted entirely over the Internet. Participants who sign up for the conference through a website can watch the sessions via streaming video- that’s hosted on a secure site. All you need is a device
Once you register, you will receive a welcome email and an email with your login credentials for viewing the conference. You will also receive email updates from Kidskintha in the weeks leading up to the event.
The conference site opens 2 weeks before the start of the conference. When the site opens, you will receive an email from Kidskintha with the site URL for the conference website, and your login ID and password.
The conference is happening between February 15th, 2019- February 18th, 2019 – That’s 4 days of brilliant life-altering talks.
Well, because nobody likes their wallets growing lighter, and legroom on flights is tighter than ever. You can save the worry of spending big bucks, and the tedium of ‘networking’ just to get a few free drinks. Plus- you are the master of your own schedule.
The talks scheduled for the day will all go live at 9 AM IST(Indian Standard Time). The conference will feature a total of 28 experts from diverse fields of neurology, psychology, child development and many more from across the world.
Each of the 28 talks explores each topic in depth over 45-60 minutes.
The 2 bonus workshops are delivered over 30-40 minutes as a demo talk by the experts.
So overall you get 25+ hours of high value, potentially life-altering content in depth and breadth.
We have the likes of people who have delivered TED talks viewed over 7 million times, Neuroscience and Faculty from the Harvard Medical School, authors whose books have grosses top charts of the likes of New York and Washington Post, experts on the field who have designed programs that have been adopted and embraces by thousands of schools and educators across the world, BBC talk show guests and many many more!
We have got most of the raging issues with growing kids covered- from toddlerhood to adolescence. I am sure you will find a talk that could give you a few ideas about what you are currently dealing with- no matter what stage your kids are at.
Absolutely! Every talk scheduled for the day will be available FREE for a period of 48 hours.
What? You can’t make 6-7 hours a day in front of a screen for 4 days straight? You are incorrigible! Just kidding. We know you are parents- parents! Don’t worry, we have got you covered. You can still buy the premium conference package and watch the sessions on-demand any time even after the event.
Nope! We are definitely bringing you ideas and techniques from the books and work of these experts( and there’s some stunning work in there) but it’s all about building a circle of support for parents with some proven science. There are links to the speakers’ books and courses if you want to dive further than a 45-minute talk.
But, hey! Don’t act like you are above any sales pitch. We all know we’ve spent more time watching( and letting the kids watch) that commercial that’s throwing proven junk at our faces.
Nope! Since it is 100% online, any processing charges for the purchases you make will be entirely on me(Sigh, payment gateways!)
This is virtual- so we don’t even care if you are in your sweatpants or with your hair in a messy bun. You could be in your nightsuit plugging into the talks just before calling it a day or you could be in your business-casuals plugging into a talk while driving to a meeting! There- you have the perks for going virtual.
Oh yes! You can totally gift it to the sister or the friend you adore, who hardly seem their former selves because those little humans have invaded every inch of their lives without warning!
And yes! Claim that free coffee!
We put in 1100+ hours of work into this conference with the intent to bring you something that is only of the highest quality and truly helpful to parents around the world.
