6pm - High School
Children
from ages 12-18 go through the second most rapid
social, emotional and physical changes of their
lives. This
presentation provides parents with the information
and skills they need to deal with their changing
adolescent. You
will develop an understanding of what is happening
to your child and what you can do to help prepare
your child socially/emotionally for the real world.
We plan for their education but not for their
social/emotional development.
Learn
about:
1. Physical
changes and their effects on children
2. Environmental
changes in school and community
3. Social
changes-exposure, pressure and outcomes
4. Brain
development changes in frontal lobes
