ROTARY LUNCHEON: Raising Successful Children

Your children are the future. If you change your parenting, you can change the world. Esther Wojcicki, founder and CEO of GlobalMoonshots.org and an internationally known educator, will share her approach on how to raise successful children.

Her approach is based on ideas including letting your children discover their own passions; moving on from past parenting mistakes; building rock-solid foundations for lifelong relationship; being brave enough to give your children freedom; working with your children, not against them; and setting healthy relationships with technology.
