Forty Carrots Family Center is commemorating 15 years of free annual education talks with its most prominent speaker to date with a special presentation by the world-renowned neuropsychiatrist and best-selling author Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. Presented in partnership with Community Foundation of Sarasota County, the free event is open to the community and will take place at 7:00pm on Tuesday, October 3 at Riverview High School. Dr. Siegel will explain how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that children can lead balanced, meaningful and connected lives by drawing insights from his best-selling book, The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind. Dr. Siegel will offer parents, teachers and other professional strategies to nurture children’s minds at all ages, survive everyday parenting struggles, and help your family thrive. Along with Dr. Siegel’s sage advice, attendees will receive a free copy of the book and Sarasota County educators will have the opportunity to earn continuing education credits (CEUs). While admission is free, tickets are required and available starting August 1.
