An introduction to low-demand parenting

What happens when we reduce demands instead of increasing expectations? This talk introduces low-demand parenting, an approach that prioritizes connection, flexibility, and nervous system regulation. We'll explore how reducing pressure can help children experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional dysregulation feel safer, more capable, and better able to engage.

Hilary Ferris White is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice in Oakland specializing in adolescents, parents, and families. With over a decade of experience and advanced training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), she is particularly curious about what happens when traditional parenting approaches don't work—and what we can try instead.
