Anne Boysen will reflect on her own personal experiences and how they relate to the topics brought forth in a collage of news clips that have shaped childhood and childrearing in the first decade and a half of the 21st century. She will then move the talk into the present and future by focusing on millennial moms and current and future trends that will shape how they are raising their children and making life choices. From this talk, attendees can expect:

• To understand that we are parenting in challenged times, and that the little stuff is less important in the long run.
• To see how parenting styles are in constant flux and that different types of parenting styles are appropriate for different eras.
• To better understand the next generation of mothers and the future that they will shape and be shaped by.
