Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson

In this groundbreaking event Stixrud and Johnson will offer cutting-edge brain science on how you can actively help your child sculpt a mind that is resilient and ready to take on new challenges on the road to success. Caregivers will learn the essential skills and real-world tools that all adults need to communicate calmly with their kids, foster autonomy, keep anxiety under control and develop a positive long-term outlook on life.

Stixrud helps kids gripped by anxiety or struggling to learn. Johnson is a motivational coach who runs an elite tutoring service. A few years ago, they started noticing that high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking motivation. The two experts discovered that the best antidote to stress is to give kids more of a sense of control over their lives.

Stixrud is a member of the adjunct faculty of the Children’s National Medical Center. He holds a faculty appointment as Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the George Washington School of Medicine. Johnson is a highly sought-after educational coach and author of “Conquering the SAT.” He is an expert in study skills and test anxiety. Both men have been quoted in numerous publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and Scientific American.
