Join us for our annual Friends and Luncheon at Hermann Park’s Lott Hall or virtually from the comfort of your own home! Back by popular demand, author Julie Lythcott-Haims will serve as the featured speaker. Lythcott-Haims is the author of the New York Times best-selling book How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success (2015),as well as the upcoming Your Turn: How to Be an Adult geared towards young adults. Julie will share ways we can support our children’s resilience during challenging times like these and discuss the issues that they must be ready for as they take their own places in the world.

‍

Luncheon proceeds, including the raffle, will help support the Museum’s early childhood and parenting programs which focus on building parenting skills, providing information on child development and engaging families in the joy of learning together.
