How do we effectively guide, support, and inspire our children in an era dominated by screens, AI, and rapid cultural shifts? We invite parents and grandparents to an insightful evening with Dr. Yarden Kedar—developmental psychologist, Cornell University researcher, Head of the Master’s Program at Beit Berl Academic College, and father of three.
Drawing on the latest research in cognitive science and utilizing engaging video demonstrations, Dr. Kedar will explore the core pillars of a child’s development: thought, emotion, spatial perception, and language processing. We will look at fascinating examples from the animal kingdom, infants, and young children whose cognitive abilities often surprise us, giving us a clearer window into how the young mind truly works.
Additionally, combining his academic expertise with his background as a marathon runner and Ironman athlete, Dr. Kedar will unpack the powerful connection between body and mind. You will learn practical, science-backed strategies on how physical activity and lifestyle directly drive internal motivation, optimism, learning capacity, and creativity in 21st-century children.
