Raising Children in an Age of Anxiety
How faith and psychology can bring peace back to family life
Parents today care deeply about their children — and yet many feel more anxious than ever about whether they are getting it right. At the same time, more and more children are struggling with anxiety too.
In this warm, practical, and thought-provoking talk, Samantha draws on behavioural psychology, Christian faith, and her own experience as a mother to help parents understand what is driving anxiety in family life — and to rediscover calm, confident authority at home.
This is not about perfect parenting.
It is about becoming the kind of parent your children need.

The Parenting Mirror
What our children reveal about us — and how to grow through it
Parents often find themselves reacting more strongly than they expect. A small moment suddenly feels overwhelming. A familiar pattern keeps repeating. And afterwards, there is often a quiet question: Why did I respond like that?
In this warm, practical, and thought-provoking talk, Samantha draws on behavioural psychology, her experience as a mother, and years of working with families to help parents understand what lies beneath these moments — and how to respond differently.
This is not about getting it right all the time.
It is about learning how to grow through the moments that don’t go to plan.
