All parents from Ansonia, Derby, Shelton, Seymour, Oxford and Beacon Falls are welcome to attend this event:

Seymour Middle School
March 31, 2016
6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

Paul Raeburn has written widely about families and parenting, most recently in Do Fathers Matter: What Science Is Telling Us About the Parent We’ve Overlooked, and in the forthcoming The Game Theorist’s Guide to Parenting: How the Science of Negotiation Can Help You Deal With the Toughest Negotiators You Will Face — Your Kids.

In his workshop, Paul will talk about some of the latest scientific findings on fathers and parenting. He will talk about how you can adapt game theory to your family and encourage your children to be more cooperative and to learn to get along. Paul will roll up his sleeves for this workshop, where he will also talk about the sometimes devastating problem of mental illness in children, something he has experienced as a parent and has written about. 

Paul Raeburn is a journalist and blogger, and the author of five books, including The Game Theorist’s Guide To Parenting: How the Science of Negotiation Can Help You Deal With the Toughest Negotiators You Know — Your Kids (FSG, April 2016); and Do Fathers Matter? The new science of fatherhood, published by Scientific American/FSG in June, 2014. 

Raeburn is currently an active freelance writer, blogger, radio producer, and author, writing for a wide variety of publications online and off. He is also the associate producer of the comedian Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast, and a regular contributor to MedPage Today and Undark.org.
