Guest Speaker Michael Thompson - Jan. 16

January 08, 2018

By Julie Strickland

Dr. Michael Thompson, preeminent child psychologist and New York Times best-selling author will present Best Friends/Worst Enemies: Friendship Development, Popularity and Social Cruelty in Childhood on January 16, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Friendship difficulties and social cruelty among children are some of the most challenging things parents face in raising children. Can you protect your child from social pain? Are you dreading the popularity wars of middle school? How involved should you be in your child’s social life? Michael Thompson will address these questions and more, walking parents through the complex social world of childhood and adolescence.

Adults only, please. Wine & cheese will be served.

Yesterday’s Strings Recital was outstanding! Led by Music Teacher Stefanie Freinkel, Elementary and Middle School students delighted parents and guests with selections ranging from folk songs and Suzuki favorites to Bach and Schumann. It was amazing to see and hear how much the last 5 months of hard work and practice have improved the students’ skills and confidence. Bravo!!
