Grow as A Parent with the 2025–2026 ParentEd Talks
9.29.2025 | Heather Cooper
Most jobs come with weeks of training and development. But parenting — the most important (and arguably hardest) job of all — comes with almost none. And it's constantly evolving. Every stage brings new joys, new challenges and so many questions. You shouldn’t have to figure it out all on your own.
That’s why ParentMap created a powerful series of monthly parent education webinars to offer expert guidance, heartfelt inspiration and a reminder that you’re never alone on this journey. ParentEd Talks, proudly sponsored by Seattle Children’s, will explore the most pressing topics parents are navigating today — from youth mental health, to the impact of technology, to improving the parent/child relationship, to understanding ADHD and other invisible disabilities.
Why Should I Attend?
- Get expert advice: Gain valuable insight from leading psychologists, authors and child development specialists to help in your parenting journey.

- Invest in your parenting growth: Nurturing the most important role you’ll ever have is always worth it. By registering, you’re making a powerful commitment to the well-being of your family.
