ParentMap Talks

LWSF provides the entire LWSD Community with free access to ParentMap Talks, a dynamic series of parent education webinars designed to guide you through the ups and downs of parenting.

2026-27 ParentMap Talks

Parenting today comes with more advice than ever — and at the same time, less real connection. Finding a trusted circle has never mattered more. The ParentMap Talks series helps cut through the noise and bring parents together with monthly webinars featuring the leading voices in child development.

These virtual sessions tackle today’s biggest parenting issues, from helping kids thrive with ADHD and supporting mental health, to EdTech in schools and navigating confusing phases of puberty. Bring your questions, gain practical, evidence-based guidance, and become part of a community built on trusted expertise, shared experiences and real support.

When you register for the full 2026–2027 series, you can attend any live session and access all event recordings on your schedule.

Looking in complimentary access? LWSD community members can subscribe to our e-newsletter to receive the promo code when each ParentMap Talk is announced, as well as stay updated on future sessions.

Donor support helps us provide meaningful resources like this for families across our community.

2026–2027 Topics and Speakers
