On October 16, The Summit Academy hosted renowned Catholic authors Art and Laraine Bennett to share their work on the temperaments God gave our children. In this recorded talk, you will hear about each of the four temperaments, how each manifests in childhood and throughout adolescence, and what parents need to know about this topic. The Summit was pleased host this lecture, complete with Q&A and a reception with the authors, as well as complimentary childcare to support parents of younger children.
Here is a link to the book the Bennetts discussed: The Temperament God Gave Your Kids: Motivate, Discipline, and Love Your Children
And a link to their latest book: Anxiety: A Catholic Guide to Freedom from Worry and Fear.
