When questioning emotions and behavior, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves or hold ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. </p><p>Perry offered a groundbreaking shift from asking, “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” This puts the focus on having compassion for other people and ourselves. It’s a subtle but profound shift in an approach to trauma. It also allows an individual to understand their past in order to clear a path to their future, opening the door to resilience and healing. With these powerful insights, individuals can strengthen their self-worth and change their lives.</p><p>Perry is the principal of the Neurosequential Network and a professor in the department of psychiatry at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University and La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of "The Boy Who Was Raised As a Dog," a bestseller based on his work with maltreated children, and "Born For Love: Why Empathy is Essential and Endangered." Perry's most recent book, "What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing” was co-authored with Oprah Winfrey and released in 2021.</p><div>Check out MEDspiration Podcast with Bruce Perry, M.D., Ph.D. | What Happened to You? | Using Neuroscience to Cultivate Resilience <a href="https://youtu.be/ycOOCDnGgeY?feature=shared" target="_blank"><b>VIDEO HERE</b></a></div><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Take-Aways</h3><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMZZPTPrTFgcjw6x-I8XcaG0d6zAdDY5TEDT3pS6xjiIg6DtdX56KotSCgTwhsrrsuMF7bk5_61SXpJ-xrjtRbZOAB1dvMt6dIcPcN2gwSIFokwn8FqD06c-7n39FTrB-VbdgxyaNqGwDJjZLOHuxMSYJ-xd815op-PxgK8aqLSxGMnq-K8SRwqiNl0GeZ/s200/Fumagalli-1.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="199" data-original-width="200" height="122" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMZZPTPrTFgcjw6x-I8XcaG0d6zAdDY5TEDT3pS6xjiIg6DtdX56KotSCgTwhsrrsuMF7bk5_61SXpJ-xrjtRbZOAB1dvMt6dIcPcN2gwSIFokwn8FqD06c-7n39FTrB-VbdgxyaNqGwDJjZLOHuxMSYJ-xd815op-PxgK8aqLSxGMnq-K8SRwqiNl0GeZ/w123-h122/Fumagalli-1.jpg" width="123" /></a></div>Glenbard Assistant Director for Teaching and Learning Mike Fumagalli co-hosted the event and shared the following takeaways: <p></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Emotional regulation is the prerequisite to learning and productive communication. The cerebral cortex, where all thinking and processing takes place, is unavailable if a child is dysregulated and under duress in any way. Helping a child to regulate themselves is central to making their brain available for learning. </li><li>Even a fully-regulated brain only processes and absorbs 85% of the information being presented. This means that under the most optimal conditions when a person is fully regulated, their brain still will not absorb and process 100% of the information. Conversely, a dysregulated brain only will process and absorb 10% of the information and require 4 times the repetition in order to accurately consume and apply that information. </li><li>Neuroscience has taught us a great deal about how the brain functions when communicating with others. Emotional contagion is the idea that an emotionally dysregulated individual will project dysregulation onto others. This means that only an emotionally regulated person is capable of calming and communicating with a dysregulated one. In order for us to have the most optimal outcomes when working with others, we must be emotionally regulated. Ways we can promote emotional regulation are repetitive, patterned, somatosensory experiences - walking, riding a bike, swimming, listening to music at 60-80 beats per minute, drawing, knitting, etc. This is why these things can calm a highly stimulated parasympathetic nervous system. A common goal for everyone is to have strategies for establishing emotional regulation and equilibrium, especially if others around us are experiencing something different. </li></ul><p></p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Resources</h3><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: var(--tec-line-height-2); margin-bottom: var(--tec-spacer-3); margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: var(--tec-line-height-2); margin-bottom: var(--tec-spacer-3); margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dr. Bruce Perry's web site <a href="https://www.bdperry.com/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: var(--tec-line-height-2); margin-bottom: var(--tec-spacer-3); margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: var(--tec-line-height-2); margin-bottom: var(--tec-spacer-3); margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dr. Bruce Perry on How to Transform Pain Into Power | Super Soul | Oprah Winfrey Network <a href="https://youtu.be/XmQ09RkiF8o" target="_blank"><b>VIDEO HERE</b></a></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: var(--tec-line-height-2); margin-bottom: var(--tec-spacer-3); margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: var(--tec-line-height-2); margin-bottom: var(--tec-spacer-3); margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">What Happened to You?

Damour shares what parents and caregivers can expect in the course of adolescent development and when it’s time to be concerned. Damour's advice provides care-givers: how to approach teen challenges such as friction at home, the pull of social media, risky behavior and navigating friendships; practical information to support teens through the transformational journey into adulthood; the best ways to stay connected and create the kind of relationship that adolescents need and want to be happy and healthy. </p><p>Damour is the author of three New York Times bestsellers: “Untangled,” “Under Pressure,” and “The Emotional Lives of Teenagers.” She co-hosts the Ask Lisa podcast; works in collaboration with UNICEF; and is recognized as a thought leader by the American Psychological Association. </p><div>Click <a href="https://youtu.be/xkeif1Zf-YM" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">HERE</span></b></a> for the Q and A recording from the event.</div><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Take Away</h3><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEYYQNbdHa2RvuvtZKokt6SW1PlgfnJSngyMv4uMnjOZazOzujWNrYHTuGQ7RtBhGRfHdsFlQ6KVXYwzCt9vFCL2XHglUpm0qi2DOKhiIWFVDGpupHU3IRtu7UHASPQBlkTrDOdPi0W6UhJV_GXwwKBm8FxP8TQdOPE5N_b0mWyuFyH1btZZfUlprD2M6J/s2165/DavidLarson2012.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2165" data-original-width="1810" height="126" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEYYQNbdHa2RvuvtZKokt6SW1PlgfnJSngyMv4uMnjOZazOzujWNrYHTuGQ7RtBhGRfHdsFlQ6KVXYwzCt9vFCL2XHglUpm0qi2DOKhiIWFVDGpupHU3IRtu7UHASPQBlkTrDOdPi0W6UhJV_GXwwKBm8FxP8TQdOPE5N_b0mWyuFyH1btZZfUlprD2M6J/w106-h126/DavidLarson2012.jpg" width="106" /></a></div>Glenbard District 87 Superintendent David Larson hosted the event and shared the following takeaway:<br /><p></p><p>“Dr. Damour offered practical research based advise and helped us dispel pervasive myths on the psychology of adolescence. Mental health is not about feeling good, it’s about having the right feelings at the right time and being able to manage those feelings effectively-observe what works best for your child. Emotions in the teen years are powerful, and amplified more than any other time of life. Dr Damour explained why the intense feelings -even negative ones- are an important part of teen development It’s our job to be a steady (non-reactive) presence in the lives of children, which is not easy. Be there to collect their ‘emotional garbage’. The strongest force for mental health is a strong relationship with a caring adult. Offer empathy, give them autonomy, and be ready to talk when they are. The aim of our work is more about insight - we tend to breeze right past offering empathy and instead serve up reassurance. Tolerate their distress-they can’t tolerate it if we can’t tolerate it. This is how they grow".</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Resources</h3><p>Damour on WGN Radio, joining Jon Hansen, in for John Landecker <a href="https://wgnradio.com/john-landecker/the-glenbard-parent-series-navigating-healthy-families/amp/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>Damour on CBS: The Emotional Lives of Teenagers” explains how adolescent feelings can be embraced and not avoided <a href="https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/wh8nFEsLrXQzeNZ6ClAJ9mok9ZSg_4Xi/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>Lisa Damour Website <a href="https://drlisadamour.com/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>Lisa Damour Podcast <a href="https://drlisadamour.com/resources/podcast/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>Discussion Guide for Parents <a href="https://drlisadamour.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/FINAL-discussion-guide-for-parents.pdf" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>Discussion Guide for Educators <a href="https://drlisadamour.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/FINAL-discussion-guide-for-educators.pdf" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>TIME magazine: How to Help Teenagers Stay Motivated at School by Damour <a href="https://time.com/6260825/teenagers-motivation-school/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white;

Never worry alone, rather, have a 'go to' committee for yourself. Strive to be a good enough --not perfect — parent.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> As we check in with kids at the end of a school day, lead with, ‘What did you have for lunch?’ to send a subtle signal that we see them as more than a number, grade or performance. Schedule stressful conversations so they are not happening daily (e.g., grades or college preparation). Talk about the difference between healthy and unhealthy competition. We want our kids to focus on wise striving, and we need to normalize difficult feelings. Share your own failure stories to build connections.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Encourage volunteerism and gratitude to give the child a deeper sense of mattering, and teach healthy interdependence by letting them know you can work together on difficult issues. Make your home a 'mattering haven' where children feel they matter outside the exterior recognitions or achievements. Then, help them shift their lens outward to find ways to make others feel valued as well.”</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Resources</h3><div><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00101WGti2j7CUz7LMdpSgVlnKYqVzPYWaVczjP5-aUaXY5l9nuG3Ps5JRZ0_pwOcaOhyf6eIwRnZ5mSJgMjcEW-A2x6o6Gi1rynHlv8ho2tY2S9n3J1oLm-VUpaKzXGEav0Fuohd6F68TWwAX7uc4-S5Pa1az3KBbE&c=IKt-HYg6lqaz_DuwehxBitRer94zu47Uc3R1YTLqeahIj1YAPhCgFg==&ch=uflie5Ta5_n2WqC-cgq0tg6fQIo66SMyosExHMypk8zt7qqtXdH1Cw==" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; font-weight: bold; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Visit</span></a><span style="background-color: white; outline: none;"> Wallace's website</span></span><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.thematteringmovement.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>View</b></span></a> the Mattering Movement website<br /><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00101WGti2j7CUz7LMdpSgVlnKYqVzPYWaVczjP5-aUaXY5l9nuG3Ps5JRZ0_pwOcaONHzjoLFA-Wtr2xHHAcEGJKQilK9UAJ4smT6HJT9FHBPQirmFPzFM6CZbriT5mlahdoGsgpP4nTrXExIGr_UrA3EcK25h_nxUfWmuRnwa0n1fLDrVtpMwTcb_uhD3iLNedjVeZDjt7XWWET4Z0pafIpuPQ4idLLcknyC-qJDGdmNeHN8O57MSN3w-YRMKCNvXIyCBNQSOnni2MswWlggzShj7nt2tGKG6s4L7u-Rrxi_nl9avv84919YxqBTs3VaLPWR49N6-mmqLgUXgV-w10eQrDQ4KIb8v1CIfVmYFyZY=&c=IKt-HYg6lqaz_DuwehxBitRer94zu47Uc3R1YTLqeahIj1YAPhCgFg==&ch=uflie5Ta5_n2WqC-cgq0tg6fQIo66SMyosExHMypk8zt7qqtXdH1Cw==" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white; font-weight: bold; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Read</span></a><span style="background-color: white; outline: none;"> "Forget independence.

This program provided adults with science-based strategies for promoting a child's independence by building their executive function skills — the fundamental brain-based abilities needed to get organized, stay focused, and control impulses and emotions. Dawson and Guare offered tips to help identify a student's strengths and weaknesses and enhance their problem-solving skills while avoiding micromanaging, cajoling and ineffective punishments.</p><p>With more than 40 years of clinical practice, Dawson and her colleague, licensed psychologist and board-certified behavior analyst, Guare, have worked with thousands of children and teens who struggle at home and in school. Their numerous award-winning books on this topic include “Smart but Scattered: The Revolutionary Executive Functioning Skills Approach to Helping Kids Reach Their Potential” and “Smart But Scattered Teens.”</p><div><i>Click <b><a href="https://youtu.be/51Opo7MWWAI" target="_blank">HERE</a> </b>for a recording of the program.</i></div><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">TAKE-AWAY</h3><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEioohw50DfcA5PyA8NMY8SuY3_VC8VF08Frz349JnA6fMu2HjMuXoP1GNpZGTbBuA-ulenR7PtZzTx1YS6xloXpIKiqTjyF8Nu3t1-9HUMhbIDzKNZDWvGcHFG2t4Y38yTdn4jJpj0bIla_n6TsAIAZXINhrrDSFabDdPaThyJv1dZ0Z2ZbrZ53ZHCAAKzM" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img data-original-height="195" data-original-width="190" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEioohw50DfcA5PyA8NMY8SuY3_VC8VF08Frz349JnA6fMu2HjMuXoP1GNpZGTbBuA-ulenR7PtZzTx1YS6xloXpIKiqTjyF8Nu3t1-9HUMhbIDzKNZDWvGcHFG2t4Y38yTdn4jJpj0bIla_n6TsAIAZXINhrrDSFabDdPaThyJv1dZ0Z2ZbrZ53ZHCAAKzM=w145-h149" width="145" /></a></div>Assistant Director for Student Services for Special Education, Tina Saviano, co-hosted the event and shared the following takeaway quotes from our distinguished authorities.<p></p><p>“Frontal brain systems, and therefore executive skills, will require approximately 25 years to develop fully. Adolescents cannot rely solely on their own frontal lobes and executive skills to regulate behavior. The solution is to lend them ours, acting as surrogate frontal lobes for our children. By late adolescence, our children must meet one fundamental condition: they must function with a reasonable degree of independence-guide them on their way. Your teen is probably trying hard—to do everything his or her peers are expected to do as they face increasing responsibilities. But it’s a daily struggle when the teen has a deficiency in what are called executive skills, the functions of our brains and thought processes that help us regulate our behavior, set goals and meet them, and balance demands and desires, wants, needs, and have-tos. While motivation can play a significant role in teens’ behavior, it’s important to recognize that some behaviors reflect a skill weakness rather than a lack of motivation. Receiving three pieces of positive feedback for each piece of negative or corrective feedback can produce positive behavior change all by itself.”</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>RESOURCES</b></h3><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Web site for Smart, but Scattered Kids <a href="https://www.smartbutscatteredkids.com/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Link to Practical Tools to go with Smart But Scattered (an amazing list of questionnaires and templates) <a href="https://www.guilford.com/add/forms/dawson4-forms.pdf?t=1" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>L<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">ink to </span>Resources<span style="font-family: inherit;"> on Test Taking, 5 Paragraph Essays and Long Term Project Planning <a href="https://www.guilford.com/add/forms/dawson6.pdf?t=1" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Link to the PowerPoint presentation of the GPS event <a href="https://www.glenbardgps.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/August-24-presentation-Dawson-and-Guare.pdf" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Smart But Scattered with Dr. Peg Dawson - February 16, 2023 at Perrysburg Schools video <a href="https://youtu.be/LzGCRGLJWRE?feature=shared" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Books by Drs.

Wiseman returned to GPS to discuss social dynamics, friendships, crushes and dating. She empowers parents and caregivers to guide young people through the inevitable ups and downs in their social lives. Wiseman outlined how adults can help teens establish and maintain boundaries. She also discussed strategies that support communication and how to avoid feedback that will shut down a conversation. </p><p>Wiseman is a New York Times bestselling author whose publications include “Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and the New Realities of Girl World,” (which was the basis for the movie “Mean Girls”) and “Masterminds & Wingmen: Helping Our Boys Cope with Schoolyard Power, Locker-Room Tests, Girlfriends, and the New Rules of Boy World.” </p><div><a href="https://youtu.be/pwvenuxIrFQ" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>Click HERE for an extended Q and A from the event</b></span></a></div><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Take Away</h3><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVKxklHZQYslJD__J3IQIQETaXPHAtUtBj7dCL2sjAwT73-IcwMSvpU_hSaOTZXgUyVYgsOOUdQ1MEYiYzdAUWavvJk1uCd_wXK_nUPZwERSW7ueHN1qaKO8RtvdD7phf26CZ06U1Mh9dqkZRfp2eFFT_gGhwyC1WLR7hsO8z0r6Aj5cxlp2N_tbeXFQ/s200/Fumagalli-1.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="199" data-original-width="200" height="109" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVKxklHZQYslJD__J3IQIQETaXPHAtUtBj7dCL2sjAwT73-IcwMSvpU_hSaOTZXgUyVYgsOOUdQ1MEYiYzdAUWavvJk1uCd_wXK_nUPZwERSW7ueHN1qaKO8RtvdD7phf26CZ06U1Mh9dqkZRfp2eFFT_gGhwyC1WLR7hsO8z0r6Aj5cxlp2N_tbeXFQ/w110-h109/Fumagalli-1.jpg" width="110" /></a></div><div>Mike Fumagalli Assistant Director of Teaching and Learning hosted the event and shared the following takeaway:</div><div> </div><div>"Ms. Wiseman helped us understand the complexity, and intense feeling around friendships and the predicament of adolescence that makes friendships so key. As adults, we tend to give advice based on what we think should motivate kids but, in reality, does not. Young people will work to avoid shame, embarrassment and humiliation at all costs while seeking to add contribution to their group/community.</div><div><br /></div><div>As parents, our job is to help our children navigate the tumultuous experience of growing up, using their emotions as information, and using relationships to maintain the dignity of others. We have to work on validating our childrens' need to create a sense of belonging and use teachable moments to be constructive versus destructive. Young people are the subject-matter experts of their lives and it is our responsibility to model and teach them what healthy relationships look like. </div><div> </div><div>Finally, emotions are real but not permanent. We can change the way we feel. Teaching young people to harness that power is key. Listening to others means being prepared to be changed by what we hear. As parents, we don’t have to fix everything. In fact, that does more harm than good. However, we can utilize challenging times to support our children's discomfort and work toward growth."</div><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Resources</h3><div><br /></div><div>Notes from this GPS event with Rosalind Wiseman, April 11, 2023 <a href="https://www.glenbardgps.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/notes-RWiseman-Apr2023.pdf" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Cultures of Dignity/Rosalind Wiseman website <a href="https://culturesofdignity.com/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Cultures of Dignity Blog <a href="https://culturesofdignity.com/blog" target="_blank"><b> HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Where Parents Talk: Deconstructing Dignity and Respect with Rosalind Wiseman <a href="https://youtu.be/PZt1DHdAysk" target="_blank"><b>VIDEO HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Avenues The World School: Rosalind Wiseman - Queen Bees & Masterminds <a href="https://youtu.be/YWsbwHnMr1k" target="_blank"><b>VIDEO HERE</b></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixNEXxWMlV4pf0H650Ws6xIfwXX3rpDuIGPDV-SgkixTstO0SzG0Eq2CoxF-NsyAFScCwk7pz2PMvj-9_umTxsSytu3gJ3gLKSJzjmOkxY751I3sfgGZeTiB9NSxFPR6lmLfzmC2LIccckVKZwIrNauckldcdRgpXXtkads8oeYda-UWeXxR30sTicSQ/s1266/wiseman%20books.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="381" data-original-width="1266" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixNEXxWMlV4pf0H650Ws6xIfwXX3rpDuIGPDV-SgkixTstO0SzG0Eq2CoxF-NsyAFScCwk7pz2PMvj-9_umTxsSytu3gJ3gLKSJzjmOkxY751I3sfgGZeTiB9NSxFPR6lmLfzmC2LIccckVKZwIrNauckldcdRgpXXtkads8oeYda-UWeXxR30sTicSQ/w640-h192/wiseman%20books.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Glenbard Parent Serieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06693470667389708054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300697525637217084.post-40739989812713601232023-03-24T11:58:00.001-05:002023-03-24T15:14:01.548-05:00Dr. Devorah Heitner offers tips to help young people manage their digital world at March 7 2023 GPS event<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUhMP1UAQj8B56P7fmMC8Y5vUTWwKtX8bRblu8jjWPNSVlhlVm0_p9J6ZHPAwB_-LREl3PMWaq5r9RW97yU7NxRJuiUkI1434LPDz_pDAb7NuzC1BoPCee1KMN_Mrrqi1jJ7-SK0-XSA28k_YKYgARKECr_BcDzKKwZxR_RLDuWnz_xWuUGUtLVV_aCQ/s300/Devorah-Heitner-237x300.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="237" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUhMP1UAQj8B56P7fmMC8Y5vUTWwKtX8bRblu8jjWPNSVlhlVm0_p9J6ZHPAwB_-LREl3PMWaq5r9RW97yU7NxRJuiUkI1434LPDz_pDAb7NuzC1BoPCee1KMN_Mrrqi1jJ7-SK0-XSA28k_YKYgARKECr_BcDzKKwZxR_RLDuWnz_xWuUGUtLVV_aCQ/s1600/Devorah-Heitner-237x300.jpg" width="237" /></a></div>On March 7 the Glenbard Parent Series hosted Screenwise author and cultural historian Dr. Devorah Heitner in a program titled Growing Up in Public: Helping Kids Navigate Privacy and Reputation Online.<p></p><p>Heitner returned to GPS to discuss her most recent book, “Growing Up Public.” Her presentation guided adults in helping young people, who have a digital reputation/footprint, develop healthy boundaries and safeguard privacy in an increasingly screen-centered world.

Since the pandemic, technology has trickled down to younger ages. During this time of learning about their own digital footprint, we should allow our young people "do-overs", while we as adults model doing the right thing. Friends are a real, two-way relationship, but social media followers are not. Knowing that there is someone on the other side of the screen is an important lesson in empathy. Stay calm and give grace during this heavily digital age. It's critical that we show compassion to them and to ourselves.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Resources</h3><div>Devorah Heitner's web site <a href="https://devorahheitner.com/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Devorah Heitner's Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/devorahheitnerphd/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>HERE</b></span></a> </div><div><br /></div><div>HEITNER'S - A Dozen Tips To Help Your Family Thrive in the Digital Age Raising Digital Natives <a href="https://www.glenbardgps.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/HEITNER-A-Dozen-Tips-To-Help-Your-Family-Thrive-in-the-Digital-Age-Raising-Digital-Natives.pdf" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>The Parental Compass Podcast: Raising Children in a Digital Age with guest Dr. Devorah Heitner (2022) <a href="https://www.parentalcompass.org/e/live-episode-raising-children-in-the-digital-age-guest-dr-devorah-heitner-ep-110-1667945557/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br />Digital Families Podcast: Managing Your Child's Screentime with Dr. Heitner (2021) <a href="https://youtu.be/hPi3i6Hw7KQ" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>TIME for Kids article: 8 Questions for Devorah Heitner, October 12, 2021 <b><a href="https://www.timeforkids.com/g56/questions-devorah-heitner/" target="_blank">HERE</a></b></div><div><br /></div><div>Relationship School Podcast: Screen Time & Keeping Your Kids Safe Online - Devorah Heitner, Ph.D. (2021) <a href="https://youtu.be/faXJHaY40OM" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>List of articles by Dr. Devorah Heitner with links <a href="https://muckrack.com/devorah-heitner/articles" target="_blank"><b> HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>The Challenges of Raising a Digital Native | Devorah Heitner, Ph.D. | TEDxNaperville (2014) <a href="https://youtu.be/eRQdAOrqvGg" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilGKeg_BppdM5VW48WauGqvvkFXmQAIgrkyGwDmpimUFqD5UjtCP6Y-X--ukjKD_uUFDPQ4vc68iQVVtPYXPTZWYhNO0FIDpKTQvg4lKE022s2tJllxhvMu71McXHihBdGCUOGBs0BgJi2h7J7VYNBjnAknGoHXVvYg0d75Zzjmf0erZYR-xmmdPIKbA/s1097/heitner%20books.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1097" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilGKeg_BppdM5VW48WauGqvvkFXmQAIgrkyGwDmpimUFqD5UjtCP6Y-X--ukjKD_uUFDPQ4vc68iQVVtPYXPTZWYhNO0FIDpKTQvg4lKE022s2tJllxhvMu71McXHihBdGCUOGBs0BgJi2h7J7VYNBjnAknGoHXVvYg0d75Zzjmf0erZYR-xmmdPIKbA/w400-h274/heitner%20books.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Glenbard Parent Serieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06693470667389708054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300697525637217084.post-56395980908929250682023-03-18T14:52:00.008-05:002023-03-24T12:05:44.362-05:00GPS event with Dr. Jessica Minahan presents Practical Strategies for Reducing Anxiety and Challenging Behavior in Students<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidJfdBht3IQpbiy2LMEUf4IEVt-lYZorVbpoYrYbGw8hohxs41tHVAN2d9LElBjf-rwsiMAtk7pYiac383YURx6bT7y7eGfZTHP9uhZKk9tr0Vj7p9CpvJZFJihx2aGkIg3xBKVo9e-EVU3e55SA1PUH8OD3SjdMaIe82nYmKa3pnXT6czTpcR7fxEtA/s502/Headshot-Minahan.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="494" data-original-width="502" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidJfdBht3IQpbiy2LMEUf4IEVt-lYZorVbpoYrYbGw8hohxs41tHVAN2d9LElBjf-rwsiMAtk7pYiac383YURx6bT7y7eGfZTHP9uhZKk9tr0Vj7p9CpvJZFJihx2aGkIg3xBKVo9e-EVU3e55SA1PUH8OD3SjdMaIe82nYmKa3pnXT6czTpcR7fxEtA/w200-h197/Headshot-Minahan.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>The Glenbard Parent Series: (GPS) Navigating Healthy Families presented Practical Strategies for Reducing Anxiety and Challenging Behavior in Students with Jessica Minahan during two webinars on Tuesday, March 14.<p></p><p>With anxiety and challenging behaviors on the rise, adults need effective and easy-to-implement strategies to help young people process critical thoughts and interrupt negative behavior patterns. Using case studies, humorous stories and examples of common challenging situations, Minahan delivered a systematic approach to enhance adolescent coping skills and provide tools and interventions for reducing students’ anxiety and increasing their self-regulation and flexible thinking. </p><p>Minahan is a licensed and board-certified behavior analyst, special educator and internationally known school consultant. She works with students who struggle with emotional and behavioral disabilities, anxiety disorders, high-functioning autism or mental health issues. She is the author of “The Behavior Code: A Practical Guide to Understanding and Teaching the Most Challenging Students,” and “The Behavior Code Companion: Strategies, Tools, and Interventions for Supporting Students with Anxiety-Related or Oppositional Behavior.” </p><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>TAKE -AWAY </b></h3><div>Mary Furbush, Executive Director CASE: Cooperative Association for Special Education shared the following take-away:</div><div><br /></div><div>"Dr. Minahan shared her systematic approach for understanding the cause and pattern of anxiety and difficult behaviors, which are often due to a lack of underdeveloped skills. Students behave if they can. Misbehavior is a symptom of an underlying cause, and that behavior communicates a need. We should look for the patterns occurring before and after the behavior. We should ask ourselves, What is the student getting from the behavior? Anxiety often follows, which can then lead to distorted perceptions, inflexible thinking, and working memory challenges. When anxiety goes down, the ability to acquire skills goes up. Technology has impacted the skill of waiting, delayed gratification and taken time away from the development of social skills. We should focus on reinforcing positive behaviors, offer choices, provide the rationale first, and validate their feelings to assist with de-escalation. We should say "pause" not "stop" to ease transition and focus on the development of skills over incentives.

Next identify the best way to support yourself, utilize healthy resources (gratitude, letting go, music, spending time with positive people exercise, asking for help, self care-it is not selfish). Mindfulness is noticing your thoughts, and feelings in the present moment without harmful judgement-giving us time to pause-reflect, rather than react. We get to choose where we put our attention. We can train/change our brain by tilting our attention to positive experiences. Where attention goes energy flows. Even in the hardest moments, remember to let your child know they are loved every day, give them the benefit of the doubt. Help them feel safe, secure, connected, and that they are enough. Love is not conditional".</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-shadow: yes; mso-padding-alt: 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p><h3 style="border: none; text-align: left;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">Resources</span></h3><p style="text-align: left;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">Stressed Teens web site: <a href="https://www.stressedteens.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;">Stressed Teens Toolbox: <a href="https://www.stressedteens.com/toolbox" target="_blank">HERE</a></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"></span><span face="Arial, sans-serif">U.S. News article with Gina Biegel: </span>Managing High School Stress <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5337495ae4b02a5017cf9522/t/63b7599ecf763f52d6610025/1672960417659/Managing+High+School+Stress+%7C+High+Schools+%7C+U.S.+News.pdf" target="_blank">HERE</a></p><p style="text-align: left;">Mindful Kids Peace Summit interview with Gina Biegel of Stressed Teens <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpJQ8Ou-WfQ&ab_channel=WufShanti%2CMindfulnessYogaMeditationforKids" target="_blank">VIDEO HERE</a></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"></span><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGOUW-V771gDU8ULPCwQRN-hUETHqGbaDfECQWvGl5xQIr88tAvA1uKRLBJ0K14z7uvC-8SYZQmZfNA-Nnv2mkOk7dBA1rVagoo5YvWE1wvbZix63b_y-8QxjiishcEmZT6Yrh7stCLxic26lIvS5ZBJnFtLc11hiVt0Jo8kenF-LH7fez91OWv6HxCg/s778/Biegels%20books.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="315" data-original-width="778" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGOUW-V771gDU8ULPCwQRN-hUETHqGbaDfECQWvGl5xQIr88tAvA1uKRLBJ0K14z7uvC-8SYZQmZfNA-Nnv2mkOk7dBA1rVagoo5YvWE1wvbZix63b_y-8QxjiishcEmZT6Yrh7stCLxic26lIvS5ZBJnFtLc11hiVt0Jo8kenF-LH7fez91OWv6HxCg/w519-h212/Biegels%20books.jpg" width="519" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Glenbard Parent Serieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06693470667389708054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300697525637217084.post-65062335981303894112023-02-21T10:28:00.002-06:002023-02-21T13:36:33.066-06:00Dr. Catherine Newman discusses essential skills for young people at Feb 8 GPS events<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp78yi0NfWqzhXdQU3u-pwKH-gbt_XxYruEuxmUyafeShhZ_f9gsdVOd1aCW5MlMA3hxIudv3iqunG8Ut9Iqog2C-sLPp-1NMNiIiY8muDVksdnBfdjNMQt673iNbEybIX4rJ2XmFQdlmIYzvYPfU_REJ970-OK0JGoWVFNMUr_l2f_MMd98KkObHetA/s800/catherine%20newmand.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="544" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp78yi0NfWqzhXdQU3u-pwKH-gbt_XxYruEuxmUyafeShhZ_f9gsdVOd1aCW5MlMA3hxIudv3iqunG8Ut9Iqog2C-sLPp-1NMNiIiY8muDVksdnBfdjNMQt673iNbEybIX4rJ2XmFQdlmIYzvYPfU_REJ970-OK0JGoWVFNMUr_l2f_MMd98KkObHetA/w136-h200/catherine%20newmand.jpg" width="136" /></a></div>The Glenbard Parent Series: (GPS) Navigating Healthy Families presented Essential Communication and Life Skills: A Kid's Guide to Growing Up with author Catherine Newman in two webinars on February 8, via Zoom. <p></p><p>Dr. Catherine Newman, witty parenting writer and etiquette columnist, provided adults with tips and advice to nudge children into independence and teach them how to master chores, express themselves clearly and behave generously toward others. </p><p>Newman has authored novels, nonfiction and articles about children, parents, teenagers and relationships.

The practice of mindfulness is a great tool to enhance mental fitness and re-architect the structure of your brain to decrease stress, increase concentration, and strengthen your sense of belonging.

"Don't think of introversion as something that needs to be cured,” says Cain. Introverts make up about one third of the population, and Cain maintains that asking introverts to act like extroverts is a serious waste of talent and energy. Cain says illuminating the power of quietude will not only free introverts to be themselves, but will also contribute to positive advancements in leadership, parenting and the workforce.</p><p>Cain’s teaching changes how society sees introverts and how they see themselves. Cain started the Quiet Movement with her bestsellers “Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts,” and “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in A World That Can’t Stop Talking.” Her most recent book is “Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole.”</p><p>Cain was in conversation with Dr. Marc Brackett. Dr. Brackett is a professor in Yale University’s Child Study Center and founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">TAKE-AWAYS</h3><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW-IOprgfLvuFrXbYGFGg3ixZj-An3Rc2ltpGbUTeD9pmui4G0Gl_l1JEbr7q4ZpqWFsuQ4lbhXzAZXARJV_OfscPQNtULPuUxXdZzJw7maTmr6PJU1ndHRIpLdw81nNmFEEXCIGRjJaudYhorCtfwuChjXqv3l0HQA6_jnE4AU6w2tAIXkSXH64PopA/s300/Mensik-240x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="240" height="137" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW-IOprgfLvuFrXbYGFGg3ixZj-An3Rc2ltpGbUTeD9pmui4G0Gl_l1JEbr7q4ZpqWFsuQ4lbhXzAZXARJV_OfscPQNtULPuUxXdZzJw7maTmr6PJU1ndHRIpLdw81nNmFEEXCIGRjJaudYhorCtfwuChjXqv3l0HQA6_jnE4AU6w2tAIXkSXH64PopA/w109-h137/Mensik-240x300.jpg" width="109" /></a></div>John Mensik Glenbard North Principal hosted the noon event and shared the following takeaway:<p></p><p>“It was very insightful listening to the profound conversion between Susan Cain and Dr. Mark Brackett. Their perspective on the power and strengths of introverts provided me with a greater understanding of the struggles some teens have in an increasingly extroverted world. They encouraged caregivers to see the child in front of them, as he/she is with all the gifts they were given. Each child is unique and needs to be celebrated and acknowledged for their special talents and contributions.</p><p>As Cain affirms-don't think of introversion as something that needs to be cured.

With mastery, they will find connection.</p><p>Give your introverted child a ‘longer runway’ that they can take off from. They will get there if we honor their inner temperament and go outward from there. Parents and teachers need to be cautious in their feedback, with less judgement, to lay the framework and appreciation for who the child truly is. This will go a long way as we celebrate and encourage their gifts and the richness inside their minds, helping bring their extraordinary talents and abilities to the world".</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">RESOURCES</h3><p>Q and A from the GPS program <a href="https://youtu.be/yD577f4u5b8" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>Susan Cain's TEDTalk 2012 <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/susan_cain_the_power_of_introverts?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>Susan Cain and Min Kym: The hidden power of sad songs and rainy days TEDSummit 2019 <b> <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/susan_cain_and_min_kym_the_hidden_power_of_sad_songs_and_rainy_days?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare" target="_blank">HERE</a></b></p><p>Susan Cain's web site <a href="https://susancain.net/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>Susan Cain's blog <a href="https://susancain.net/blog/#" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>PODCAST Quiet: The Power of Introverts with Susan Cain <b> <a href="https://susancain.net/susan-cain-quiet-podcast/#" target="_blank">HERE</a></b></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9AFaqnmVWndvaN3eo7WVWy7xuO4Gmyuv3pYBJX-ml9pmLpt7xI5DEADqFcX6V5jWy0uw9iuuPqRLV17cs83uw-h80uWREcm-ogsVVFxbyOucrg-t1XiQBASxVsjbJcVE1XqXrYR7_N8-6MZQlcbwCmUB_spd4G_OZDC_-ceAEUOUET9VDASoefsmNHQ/s971/cain%20books.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="971" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9AFaqnmVWndvaN3eo7WVWy7xuO4Gmyuv3pYBJX-ml9pmLpt7xI5DEADqFcX6V5jWy0uw9iuuPqRLV17cs83uw-h80uWREcm-ogsVVFxbyOucrg-t1XiQBASxVsjbJcVE1XqXrYR7_N8-6MZQlcbwCmUB_spd4G_OZDC_-ceAEUOUET9VDASoefsmNHQ/w400-h185/cain%20books.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></h3><div><b><br /></b></div><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">The Quiet Manifesto</h3><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>There is a word for “people who are in their heads too much”—thinkers.</li><li>Solitude is a catalyst for innovation.</li><li>The next generation of quiet kids can and must be raised to know their own strengths.</li><li>Sometimes it helps to be a pretend-extrovert.

The main pillars are structure, support, and encouragement, while the intersecting planks are monitoring, awareness, warmth, patience, and dispassion (with calm constructive honesty). He describes “swooping in” to fix or handle issues for teens as tantamount to saying “You are incompetent and can’t do it without me.” The goal is to eventually take the scaffolding down when our teens are ready to stand on their own.</div><div><br /></div><div>Koplewicz advises we prioritize factors that protect kids from depression and suicide, including family and school connectedness, academic engagement, and having future plans and goals. At home, he recommends investing time and attention early on and implementing rituals that make it easy to talk. We also need to engage in kids’ individual interest and use labeled praise (giving specific examples) when kids do positive and helpful things.</div><div><br /></div><div>If changes in typical behavior point to a possible mental health challenge, be direct with questions about self-harm. Stay calm. Listen to understand their feelings from their point of view, and offer hope that solutions exist. In his closing comments, in response to a question, Dr. Koplewicz welcomed us to use the educational videos below (California Healthy Minds, Thriving Kids Project, under Resources). .

Don't talk about college too soon, or too often it's ok to keep some things private regarding the college search in conversation with friends and neighbors. And get out of the 1990s, those norms no longer apply - learn the facts. Sometimes kids are not looking for a solution, they are looking for an ear. Caregivers will wage the battle between helping them too little and helping them too much all of their lives. </div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Resources</h3><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://grownandflown.com/" target="_blank">Grown and Flown web site </a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://grownandflown.com/off-to-college-checklist/ " target="_blank">Link to Off to College Checklist</a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://youtu.be/91VSz72m7bs" target="_blank">Recording of this event on May 3, 2022</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhArU-ltE0vhrcJ8Wv-lfaRUshQKEnicZHHKG7o361eHN7dCqr4xLOcnRdZHWTbBUmxEzra5V47zMFL0zZ92SjvBiwnuJUtfQYng5Qy9BAUSNaBqbyOMjj8EK3QJHWbL2UCbkWr8x9tOtxBlrdzKPc3hMP8wWUyU4sz5Tea4gQhBV2U2uvgXGTrfk2qAQ/s1710/off%20to%20college%20checklist.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1710" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhArU-ltE0vhrcJ8Wv-lfaRUshQKEnicZHHKG7o361eHN7dCqr4xLOcnRdZHWTbBUmxEzra5V47zMFL0zZ92SjvBiwnuJUtfQYng5Qy9BAUSNaBqbyOMjj8EK3QJHWbL2UCbkWr8x9tOtxBlrdzKPc3hMP8wWUyU4sz5Tea4gQhBV2U2uvgXGTrfk2qAQ/w582-h255/off%20to%20college%20checklist.jpg" width="582" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div>Glenbard Parent Serieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06693470667389708054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300697525637217084.post-76241423984137056702022-04-21T12:06:00.003-05:002022-04-27T17:52:34.356-05:00GPS speaker and panel to discusses effects of dependency on youth and families on April 19<p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbGmJ1gwE2eHKapY2mZ7yEtrKVd0v3zLXAlrrxUod5kQZcUr-60_aY2i7A-r34Sxy2On_9p2nE13joKOMiZCpSuBkR7cQEI0kRdcU9ykJZYuWogegVKJIM4LFZz2-WGxaxt3-IVOlR8jm5HxoNvryJDS-F-qgP_uQgfl3Q06JM1qqE6bi74fAfSkpl-w/s512/stephen%20hill.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="512" height="145" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbGmJ1gwE2eHKapY2mZ7yEtrKVd0v3zLXAlrrxUod5kQZcUr-60_aY2i7A-r34Sxy2On_9p2nE13joKOMiZCpSuBkR7cQEI0kRdcU9ykJZYuWogegVKJIM4LFZz2-WGxaxt3-IVOlR8jm5HxoNvryJDS-F-qgP_uQgfl3Q06JM1qqE6bi74fAfSkpl-w/w207-h145/stephen%20hill.jpg" width="207" /></a></div>Stephen Hill and addiction psychologist Dr. Aaron Weiner, and clinical psychologist Dr. Doug Bolton joined us for a Alcohol Awareness Month presentation on April 19, 2022. <p></p><p>How does one of four brothers, raised in the same home by loving and supportive parents, end up addicted to drugs for more than a decade while his siblings followed a path to a healthy lifestyle? Hill places a great deal of emphasis on “prevention through protection” and pinpoints potential threats and warning signs for families.</p><p>Like other parents of youth addicts, Hill's parents experienced isolation, as well as emotional and financial hardship. Members of their community, friends, and family labeled their son with stigmas. After he hit rock bottom and entered his final treatment program, Hill began to put his life back together. Education, health, wellness and helping others became the top priorities in his life.</p><p>After completing his first year of sobriety, Hill was offered a full-time position to work at the same treatment program he went through. He returned to college and earned his J.D. from Brooklyn Law School. In May 2018, he published his memoir “A Journey to Recovery” which became a No. 1 new release in drug dependency on Amazon. </p><p>Following Hill’s remarks, addiction psychologist Aaron Weiner and clinical psychologist Doug Bolton continued this important conversation, giving us a better understanding of how to prevent and treat a substance use disorder.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><i>For a video of the panel discussion and Q&A session from this event, click <a href="https://youtu.be/AwUcErXkc1s" target="_blank">HERE</a> </i></b></p><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Take-away</h3><p>Jordan Esser, Community Initiatives Coordinator, DuPage County Health Department and Project Coordinator, DuPage County Prevention Leadership Team (PLT)</p><p>"As the Project Coordinator of the DuPage County Prevention Leadership Team (PLT), I focus primarily on substance use prevention and mental wellness for youth throughout DuPage. For that reason, the PLT is a proud sponsor and partner of the Glenbard Parent Series (GPS) and was happy to partner on the program on April 19th, Stephen Hill-A First Choice and a Second Chance. Stephen shared his truly compelling story about a young man who had an involved, supportive family, was a talented student athlete and good student but who went down a path that started with alcohol and marijuana use and high school and quickly escalated to an opioid addiction. His story is an example of how addiction can happen to anyone and can happen quickly. My main takeaway from this program is the importance of early prevention and talking with your kids about healthy choices, early and often. Although it may not always feel like it, research shows that over 80% of young people ages 10-18 say their parents are the leading influence on their decision whether to use alcohol and drugs. Our kids really do care what we think! That is why it is so important to have clear expectations about youth drug use and make those expectations known to your kids. Share facts with them about the health risks associated with alcohol and drug use during adolescent when their brains and bodies are still growing and the legal risks of underage drug use."</p><p>For more tips on how to have these important conversations with your teen, visit the DuPage County Prevention Leadership Team website at <a href="http://www.dupageplt.org" target="_blank">www.dupageplt.org</a>. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Resources</h3><div><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u>GPS Take 5 Preview of this event</u></span></b></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://speaksobriety.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #073f87;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Stephen Hill, Speak Sobriety web site</span></a></strong></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><a href="https://www.weinerphd.com/" rel="noopener" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #073f87;" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Web site for Dr. Aaron Weiner</span></b></a></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><a href="https://www.fpschicago.com/doug-bolton-phd" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Web site for Dr. Doug Bolton, Formative Psychological Services</span></b></a></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><br /></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCPcrJXxabdn8Mon-eWtbZqxmB_C4Z6sizS0ST5VrhEGv3jptzP24ocGb98d2ScuczFm7uk4CuWWeNEeUAXWtBOWEC2gaAnUq2TpqHcgzy4WlM6VznMA32T2_j5B5ivZaoos02S8PR51qrCefMJSyP-rapsWKAmXUshHmGrOqDoJqDRiVb7byFhbq61w/s1445/hill%20presentation%20image.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1445" data-original-width="1079" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCPcrJXxabdn8Mon-eWtbZqxmB_C4Z6sizS0ST5VrhEGv3jptzP24ocGb98d2ScuczFm7uk4CuWWeNEeUAXWtBOWEC2gaAnUq2TpqHcgzy4WlM6VznMA32T2_j5B5ivZaoos02S8PR51qrCefMJSyP-rapsWKAmXUshHmGrOqDoJqDRiVb7byFhbq61w/s320/hill%20presentation%20image.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOBEY4dfSQfOgZACLJwS28hfb0UzWG2SntvRhl0nkyu34HkmMGXdGc217BraqI1CVwrlFEq0UM1omYfynWOu77Xx4VlwkhUZj2aw7tF_aGnN2g_e4Z7XRgpT6Rhf3HtTzmGXPEG4TtQc3lSm6hu26VLLHfUzSNQgtbwa3xEBGS0m4wiZIvRx7DWl74pw/s400/jouney%20to%20recovery%20-%20hill.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="267" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOBEY4dfSQfOgZACLJwS28hfb0UzWG2SntvRhl0nkyu34HkmMGXdGc217BraqI1CVwrlFEq0UM1omYfynWOu77Xx4VlwkhUZj2aw7tF_aGnN2g_e4Z7XRgpT6Rhf3HtTzmGXPEG4TtQc3lSm6hu26VLLHfUzSNQgtbwa3xEBGS0m4wiZIvRx7DWl74pw/s320/jouney%20to%20recovery%20-%20hill.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Glenbard Parent Serieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06693470667389708054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300697525637217084.post-50543675681554018272022-03-25T12:48:00.001-05:002022-03-25T14:54:50.696-05:00Michele Icard provides a model for overcoming parent's language obstacles at GPS event on March 16, 2022<p>On March 16, the Glenbard Parent Series hosted Michelle Icard in programs based on her book, 14 Conversations You Need to Have by Age 14.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhY_-QpLMYGsqseWmJMXidpbbMRBjF28blhvKQaVzTogJtA4SBxY9KQQN76-Q1UieazNT9tIXvBItEXp4cUZuS8MAn5tb6ZpSUWiTaMMwkAmXKBcOIPEuaQ2hovB9C4uuGKC_V1w9jWv6wn2pCQSPESCaWEm5mN3zHCw6r9Ha8vVMrRsH_YwXyJT8m9XQ=s400" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhY_-QpLMYGsqseWmJMXidpbbMRBjF28blhvKQaVzTogJtA4SBxY9KQQN76-Q1UieazNT9tIXvBItEXp4cUZuS8MAn5tb6ZpSUWiTaMMwkAmXKBcOIPEuaQ2hovB9C4uuGKC_V1w9jWv6wn2pCQSPESCaWEm5mN3zHCw6r9Ha8vVMrRsH_YwXyJT8m9XQ=w200-h200" width="200" /></a></div>Author Michelle Icard provides a model for overcoming parent's language obstacles. Based on her most recent book, Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen, Icard guides parents of tweens and teens past their fears and challenges around covering “the important stuff” with their kids and into a confident enough position to have meaningful conversations where their kids will actually engage. While the book covers fourteen topics, Icard included five from the book: Becoming Independent, Keeping Creativity Alive, Taking Care of Yourself, Living with Technology, and Helping Others. <p></p><p>Michelle Icard is a speaker, author, and educator who helps kids, parents, and teachers navigate the complicated social world of adolescence. Her first book, Middle School Makeover: Improving the Way You and Your Child Experience the Middle School Years, is a primer for the social and emotional changes parents and kids navigate when mid-life meets middle school under one roof.</p><p><b>Link here for a recording of the Q and A from the program: <a href="https://youtu.be/ARDYsaKB76E" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/ARDYsaKB76E</a></b></p><p><i>Community Consolidated School District 89 Superintendent Dr Emily Tammeru and Queen Bee School District 16 Superintendent Dr Joe Williams hosted the events and shared the following takeaway: </i></p><p>"Icard calls the years from age 11-the mid 20s a ‘construction phase’. It begins when tweens experience major changes to their brain, body and image, as their #1 fear becomes-am I normal? This period requires the adults in their lives to adapt, and be prepared for these normal, risk taking changes-as youth work to integrate with peers. They need us to pivot to the role of assistant manager, to ‘fix less and listen more’, empathize, get a hobby ('other than our children') and learn a new language in our communication with them: BRIEF, breathe, relate, interview, echo, give feedback. Try not to take these expected changes personally, and make time for fun, together."</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">RESOURCES</h3><p><a href="Web site for Michelle Icard" target="_blank"><b>Web site for Michelle Icard</b></a></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/wcPpGvKTymQ" target="_blank"><b>Lindsey Hein Podcast Episode 67: Michelle Icard – Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen (Feb 8, 2022)</b></a></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/hUXPypvwKaU" target="_blank"><b>GPS Take 5: Parent Preview for this event with Michelle Icard</b></a></p><p><a href="https://wgnradio.com/wgn-plus/uh-parent-ly/talking-to-your-tweens-and-teeps-author-michelle-icard-explains-how-to-get-the-conversation-started/" target="_blank"><b>WGN interview with Icard </b></a><span style="color: #0000ee;">(<b><u>Feb 26, 2021)</u></b></span></p><p><span style="color: #0000ee;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiinGhINzgmdwND0A2AWLdv1mVaw7HCy_9GCOK2dYO_ngdaYWIgTsPjrd-ccwys7NxtqqlHPLF0UYe1GJAOxLjR1e8wCbHzoCnRTzw5JAazjl7PsS74rKOkw6lg1EzgLNiprTdAuUqAJUl3E4XNsoCGtkNMsZwiH3FODxi7EAvFn-IhDGkXdS2nxY78rw=s1011" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1011" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiinGhINzgmdwND0A2AWLdv1mVaw7HCy_9GCOK2dYO_ngdaYWIgTsPjrd-ccwys7NxtqqlHPLF0UYe1GJAOxLjR1e8wCbHzoCnRTzw5JAazjl7PsS74rKOkw6lg1EzgLNiprTdAuUqAJUl3E4XNsoCGtkNMsZwiH3FODxi7EAvFn-IhDGkXdS2nxY78rw=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Glenbard Parent Serieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06693470667389708054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300697525637217084.post-88773586334668490672022-03-07T10:52:00.001-06:002022-03-07T11:03:10.193-06:00Self-compassion pioneer Dr. Kristin Neff shares practices to improve mental health with GPS on Feb 22, 2022<p>GPS hosted Dr. Kristin Neff on February 22 to walk us through practices designed to increase motivation, foster grit and a growth mindset, and rebound from failure – all through the cultivation of self-compassion. Our first instinct when we fail, suffer, or feel inadequate may be to criticize or to judge ourselves—but there is a better way to get through life’s hardships, says Dr. Kristin Neff. A way that enables us to achieve our highest potential and lead more contented, fulfilling lives. And that is through self-compassion -- a way of relating to ourselves kindly.</p><p>Neff says self compassion has three components (<a href="https://self-compassion.org/the-three-elements-of-self-compassion-2/" target="_blank"><i><b>more here</b></i></a>):</p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>1.

She is the first to empirically study the concepts and create a simple, actionable guide proven to increase motivation, boost resilience, and improve mental health. Both an Insight Meditation practitioner and an associate professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Atlantic, and Harvard Business Review, among others. She is also the co-developer of an empirically supported training program called Mindful Self-Compassion, and the co-author of The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook as well as Teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion Program: A Guide for Professionals.<p></p><p><i>Glenbard South Principal Jessica Santee hosted the event and shared the following takeaway</i>:</p><p> "Dr. Neff provided insight into the many benefits of self-compassion (like greater happiness and calmer households), which involves being kind to ourselves in times of struggle. Self-compassion is not about making yourself feel better at the expense of others, but rather, it involves cultivating feelings of self-worth in any setting – in success or failure. It is treating yourself the way you would treat a friend or a loved one by noticing the sadness, extending empathy and recognizing that it’s human to fail. As caregivers, we need to model self-compassion. In doing so, we let our children know that they, too, are valued and deserving of kindness."</p><p><i>Q and A from this event: GPS Take 5 -The Power of Self Compassion with Kristin Neff (2-16-22) <a href="https://youtu.be/ogPomzVK7Bs" target="_blank"><b>VIDEO HERE</b></a></i></p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">RESOURCES</h3><div>Web site for Self-Compassion Dr. Kristin Neff <a href="https://self-compassion.org/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Kristin Neff: The Three Components of Self-Compassion (Oct 16, 2014) <a href="https://youtu.be/11U0h0DPu7k" target="_blank"><b>VIDEO HERE</b></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Kristin Neff at TEDx – The Space Between Self-Esteem and Self Compassion (Feb 6, 2013) <a href="https://youtu.be/IvtZBUSplr4" target="_blank"><b>VIDEO HERE</b></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>The Broken Brain Podcast with Dr. Kristin Neff - Dr. Mark Hyman (Jun 11, 2020) <a href="https://drhyman.com/blog/2020/06/11/bb-ep123/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div>TED Checking In with Susan David: Self-soothing exercises with Dr. Kristin Neff <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/checking_in_with_susan_david_bonus_self_soothing_exercises_with_dr_kristin_neff" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgDowTFYy6jRLRxjV1tiuA7WgibEL6pgZRQs7S3Bpq8WWlDpZQtDRWdRMbvfg-UtCbv4WcWQA3TXUiOGg9fbS8ZBeN6i88qmm2dWGUzDCbPTf3zu96c35ZVhaNLomhjFMHGVHW2b8bCP5MRc0Jb4hJEIuM9tG9rgqpObaVDzBBDn1gjTr9B-4AjLppYvg=s1480" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="375" data-original-width="1480" height="162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgDowTFYy6jRLRxjV1tiuA7WgibEL6pgZRQs7S3Bpq8WWlDpZQtDRWdRMbvfg-UtCbv4WcWQA3TXUiOGg9fbS8ZBeN6i88qmm2dWGUzDCbPTf3zu96c35ZVhaNLomhjFMHGVHW2b8bCP5MRc0Jb4hJEIuM9tG9rgqpObaVDzBBDn1gjTr9B-4AjLppYvg=w640-h162" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Glenbard Parent Serieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06693470667389708054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300697525637217084.post-64835152585878644062022-03-07T10:09:00.002-06:002022-03-11T09:31:03.032-06:00Dr. Mona Delahooke speaks on her book Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids<p>On March 3, the Glenbard Parent Series hosted noted clinical psychologist Dr. Mona Delahooke in a program based on her book, Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiPoRURwfSRNS8JMyggj5xGmm4yhgTcI7EVWw9nCql-CtptAdimeaDc9d_dmPjwGgBU9le1eSDKheqoeBIzf1gWN277YkeYWLr7APWgwllvGWjhQsIcOZH1fOg_u3-Qt9iNo9MmIscuPbJETeKQedjHmBRvCPdMjvts4r5egDNP0-_ztLGdg7-kdb73gw=s400" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiPoRURwfSRNS8JMyggj5xGmm4yhgTcI7EVWw9nCql-CtptAdimeaDc9d_dmPjwGgBU9le1eSDKheqoeBIzf1gWN277YkeYWLr7APWgwllvGWjhQsIcOZH1fOg_u3-Qt9iNo9MmIscuPbJETeKQedjHmBRvCPdMjvts4r5egDNP0-_ztLGdg7-kdb73gw=w200-h200" width="200" /></a></div>Brain-Body Parenting empowers parents with tools to help their children develop self-regulation skills while also encouraging parental self-care, which is crucial for parents to have the capacity to provide the essential “co-regulation” children need. When parents shift from trying to secure compliance to supporting connection and balance in the body and mind, they unlock a deeper understanding of their child, encouraging calmer behavior, more harmonious family dynamics, and increased resilience.<p></p><p>Delahooke is a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 30 years of experience caring for children and their families. Her just released book is Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids. She is a senior faculty member of the Profectum Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting families of neurodiverse children, adolescents, and adults. She is a trainer for the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and is a member of the American Psychological Association and holds the highest level of endorsement in the field of infant and toddler mental health in California, as a Reflective Practice Mentor (RPM).</p><p><i>Rebecca Sulaver ,Glenbard Assistant Director of Teaching and Learning, hosted the event and shared the following takeaway:</i></p><p>"Mona Delahooke wants caregivers to de-emphasize behavior management and shift the lens from consequences/punishment of challenging behaviors, to an understanding that the behavior IS the message. Look at like what lies beneath -the tip of the iceberg. What is happening in the body, brain and the central nervous system ? Does the child feel safe? Kids do well if they can. Observe, Interpret, then take action to meet their needs. Create a toolbox (breathing techniques, exercise, music, journaling, self-talk) to calm. Understand some stress is necessary to grow. What works: elevate the relationship with your child-make it a top priority! Find simple moments to connect, and play, so all can restore".</p><p><i>A recording of the Q and A from the event is <a href="https://youtu.be/J0k5BmqUMqU" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><h3>RESOURCES</h3><div><div>Website for Dr. Mona Delahooke <a href="https://monadelahooke.com/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a> </div><div><br /></div><div>Dr. Mona Delahooke Podcasts <a href="https://monadelahooke.com/podcasts/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Bright and Quirky Interview with Dr. Mona Delahooke and Dr. Stephen Porges <a href="https://youtu.be/t4A0R6kd77I" target="_blank"><b>VIDEO HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Bright and Quirky Interview How to Approach Kids’ Challenging Behaviors, with Dr. Mona Delahooke <a href="https://brightandquirky.com/how-to-approach-kids-challenging-behaviors-with-dr-mona-delahooke/" target="_blank"><b>VIDEO HERE</b></a></div><div><br /></div><div>What Does it mean to Look Beyond Behaviors?

He discovered that in most fields—especially those that are complex and unpredictable—generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. They’re also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see. He also makes a compelling case for actively cultivating inefficiency. Failing a test is the best way to learn. Frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers. The most impactful inventors cross domains rather than deepening their knowledge in a single area. <p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjMPtOHNw-gaVASYV4VLiarDW0EXkMJUxnhDUgAid5umvjpqXTFMklcCqp5qYNpBi3GD7U1it2rwSyddvSxZ9GR-sXqVT6MHISrg_E9ffH48DBX603IZAMTWHZiHeqe-IlxuolMyXSNUYhBim-TmI3qyeYw8yrA-dOSNyw06PoI1mNUnhQ4cVGbuktA-g=s346" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="228" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjMPtOHNw-gaVASYV4VLiarDW0EXkMJUxnhDUgAid5umvjpqXTFMklcCqp5qYNpBi3GD7U1it2rwSyddvSxZ9GR-sXqVT6MHISrg_E9ffH48DBX603IZAMTWHZiHeqe-IlxuolMyXSNUYhBim-TmI3qyeYw8yrA-dOSNyw06PoI1mNUnhQ4cVGbuktA-g=w132-h200" width="132" /></a></div><p></p><p>David Epstein is an investigative reporter at ProPublica and prior to that was a senior writer at Sports Illustrated.

Epstein recommends we talk to our children to understand what they enjoy, and to help them discover what they learned from any given activity. </p><p> Always remember, setbacks and challenges do have an upside, as they provide an opportunity for personal growth. Many high profile (and highly successful) people have struggled early on, and only achieved their successes much later in life, later than we may realize".</p><p><i>Thank you to our additional sponsors for this event: Deerfield Parent Network, Stand Strong Coalition, Parent Community Network, Link Together Coalition.</i></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Resources</h3><p>David Epstein <a href="https://davidepstein.com/" target="_blank"><b>web site HERE</b></a></p><p>Range Widely: Broadening your cognitive toolbox (newsletter) <a href="https://davidepstein.bulletin.com/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>An Introduction to "Range" by David Epstein <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmoMmK7qKt4&ab_channel=NextBigIdeaClub" target="_blank"><b>YouTube video HERE</b></a></p><p>WGN TV interview "Author David Epstein, `Range` says practice doesn`t make perfect" (Jun 2019) <a href="https://wgntv.com/news/wgn-weekend-morning-news/author-david-epstein-range-says-practice-doesnt-make-perfect/" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>Making the Modern Athlete: A Conversation with David Epstein and Malcolm Gladwell (Mar 2019) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RqIa09AvDU&ab_channel=42Analytics" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a></p><p>Are athletes really getting faster, better, stronger?

She provided guidance for parents to help as life gets back to normal.</p><p>Lydia Denworth is a contributing editor for Scientific American and writes the Brain Waves blog for Psychology Today. Her work has also appeared in The Atlantic, Newsweek, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, Spectrum, and many other publications.

Friendships are critical to our ability to succeed and thrive lifelong. Parents need to model it, value it, and make time to teach friendship skills. Help them practice listening and being positive and reliable. Explain that changing friends at the start of middle/high school and college is normal. Helping them bond with others over similar interests or connecting over a keyboard with people may be a great place for them to build their confidence (check in to make sure they are safe). Understand that when teens are with other teens ‘peer presence’ risk taking can happen." </p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>RESOURCES</b></h3><p><a href="https://lydiadenworth.com/articles/adolescence-is-an-age-of-opportunity/" target="_blank">Adolescence is an Age of Opportunity By Lydia Denworth | May 2021 | Scientific American</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DbP34U3buY&ab_channel=TEDArchive" target="_blank">TedTalk Archives: The science of friendship | Lydia Denworth</a> May 22, 2018</p><p><a href="https://armchairexpertpod.com/pods/lydia-denworth" target="_blank">Armchair Expert Pod Cast: Dax Shepard with Lydia Denworth</a> March 26, 2020</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7Vo1Alo2x4" target="_blank">Interview with Dr. Robyn Silverman "How to Talk to Kids about the Lifechanging Benefits of Friendship" with Lydia Denworth</a> September 21, 2021</p><p><a href="https://lydiadenworth.com/" target="_blank">Lydia Denworth's web site</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQ9AE__4Zlxf6-P6gQJxh3nlTkNFyZmQA49LXMxbvoyWrL6XKoYjuywEaR4qI8iZs6W1pIWJIJ-L7ZbGEDbkLUyXVajcziWdEYyLlcgBiArP_Rf8sHEqLgNKF0b2pfq06Ji-0WYKiW5O0t2f8Qnde-09mzwWb5qbBvPSf2WnXuksTJ58mxsSlRVV5zfg=s1024" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="679" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiQ9AE__4Zlxf6-P6gQJxh3nlTkNFyZmQA49LXMxbvoyWrL6XKoYjuywEaR4qI8iZs6W1pIWJIJ-L7ZbGEDbkLUyXVajcziWdEYyLlcgBiArP_Rf8sHEqLgNKF0b2pfq06Ji-0WYKiW5O0t2f8Qnde-09mzwWb5qbBvPSf2WnXuksTJ58mxsSlRVV5zfg=s320" width="212" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p></p>Glenbard Parent Serieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06693470667389708054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300697525637217084.post-31404960699590519462021-12-04T13:31:00.034-06:002021-12-07T16:55:47.211-06:00Katie Hurley presents Positive Thinking for Teens: Tools to Improve Mood, Build Self-Esteem, and Inspire Motivation <p>On December 1, 2021, the Glenbard Parent Series hosted Katie Hurley LCSW author of "The Happy Kid Handbook" in events titled "Positive Thinking: The Tools to Improve Mood, Build Self- Esteem and Motivation". </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixtiXS75llVe_DyTNUZcmuIwZ7ufDl2pMsk2ucq2jQXwFQLqgsNHRJC0rpnUtwH-3HQJJZa63XxZVoX5TJT2s9hmpE0CkVVuDIV2ukyIg_zPi7kj1ZRkeuKhp-FyaMmlO3iGaxf7wnLkzI/s400/katie+hurley.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixtiXS75llVe_DyTNUZcmuIwZ7ufDl2pMsk2ucq2jQXwFQLqgsNHRJC0rpnUtwH-3HQJJZa63XxZVoX5TJT2s9hmpE0CkVVuDIV2ukyIg_zPi7kj1ZRkeuKhp-FyaMmlO3iGaxf7wnLkzI/w173-h173/katie+hurley.jpg" width="173" /></a></div>Katie Hurley, LCSW, and child and adolescent psychotherapist, spoke on how parents and educators can identify the symptoms of stress and anxiety and understand how to help when teens struggle.

With empathy, support and validation, adults can help students check in with their emotions, disrupt anxious thinking and learn the tools for adaptive coping strategies. 'Our teens are experiencing something we, the adults, have never experienced'. With connection, and communication, and by encouraging self-care, we can empower students to tap into their individual strengths and interests to find confidence, and courage. As Hurley reminded us- we are all a work in progress."</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Click here to view the program: <a href="https://youtu.be/o77w4scEICg" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/o77w4scEICg</a></span></b><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">a</span></p><p><b>Video of Ka<span style="font-family: sans-serif;">tie Hurley Student Q&A </span><a class="yiv4809378984gmail-style-scope yiv4809378984gmail-ytcp-video-info" href="https://youtu.be/7HUHZuNLrPg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: #f9f9f9;

Stixrud and Johnson, who have 60 years combined experience talking to young people one-on-one are back to teach us “What Do You Say?” in order to help turn these concepts into action.</div><div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgswNRXA7Olt0r_ZauLLDW8ahkjLyYjCGQULU4JWws6Nbs1o65RL6G29TeA4NsRhIOCMROrDTkoqOfrmmq_7N7PEZvS-eYPk__zBeIWeQiC5_ZOErc4Fvld8lhBY87HsyTcm0Eudl824Aqu/s2048/WhatDoYo_jkt_front.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1356" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgswNRXA7Olt0r_ZauLLDW8ahkjLyYjCGQULU4JWws6Nbs1o65RL6G29TeA4NsRhIOCMROrDTkoqOfrmmq_7N7PEZvS-eYPk__zBeIWeQiC5_ZOErc4Fvld8lhBY87HsyTcm0Eudl824Aqu/w158-h239/WhatDoYo_jkt_front.jpg" width="158" /></a></div>In their latest book, Johnson and Stixrud explains how to engage in respectful and effective dialogue, beginning with defining and demonstrating the basic principles of listening and speaking. They also teach new ways to handle the thorny topics that usually end in parent/kid standoff such as; delivering constructive feedback to kids; discussing boundaries around technology; explaining sleep and their brains; the anxiety of current events; and family problem-solving.<p></p><p>William R. Stixrud, Ph.D., is a clinical neuropsychologist and founder of The Stixrud Group, a lifespan neuropsychology practice. Dr. Stixrud holds a doctorate degree in School Psychology from the University of Minnesota. Ned Johnson is the president and founder of PrepMatters. Since 1993, Mr. Johnson has devoted in excess of 35,000 hours in one-on-one test prep for nearly the entire alphabet of tests. His experience includes work with all ages and abilities in preparation for SSAT and ISEE to ACT and SAT to GMAT, GRE and LSAT.</p><p><i>Melissa Creech, Glenbard Executive Director of Teaching and Learning welcomed the speakers and shared the following takeaway: </i></p><p>"A teen's strong connection with a parent is key! Without judgement, with understanding and empathy, validate their feeling to foster closeness. Teens need a sense of autonomy. Move to the role of consultant/manager and mentor rather than monitor. 'I can't make you do this. I have confidence in your decision-making.' It's essential for the adults to manage their own stress and anxiety first-calm is contagious."</p><div><b>To view the program go to: <a href="https://youtu.be/aYMFZPgovA0" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/aYMFZPgovA0</a></b></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Resources</h3><p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/penguin-audio/what-do-you-say-by-william-stixrud-phd-and-ned-johnson-read-by-ned-johnson" target="_blank">What Do You Say? by William Stixrud, PhD and Ned Johnson, read by Ned Johnson, PRH Audio </a></p><p><a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-case-for-the-ldquo-self-driven-child-rdquo/" target="_blank">The Case for the Self-Driven Child, Scientific American, by Gareth Cook on February 13, 2018</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aWfBAqX7p4&ab_channel=PoliticsandProse" target="_blank">William Stixrud and Ned Johnson, "The Self-Driven Child"Mar 28, 2018, Politics and Prose YoutTube</a></p><p><a href="http://www.glenbardgps.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/What-Do-You-Say__-Notes-on-GPS-presentation-11.17.21.pdf" target="_blank">Notes on this event with Dr. Stixrud and Ned Johnson, courtesy of Agnes Knott, Hersey High School</a></p><p>Ned Johnson's PrepMatter's website: <a href="https://prepmatters.com/" target="_blank">https://prepmatters.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p></div>Glenbard Parent Serieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06693470667389708054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300697525637217084.post-48421998458999808612021-10-05T10:50:00.001-05:002021-10-05T10:50:49.842-05:00Glenbard Parent Series program addresses youth suicide, anxiety and depression<p> On Sept, 28 the Glenbard Parent Series hosted mental health advocate Ross Szabo and clinical psychologist Jason Washburn Ph.D. in a program titled "Behind Happy Faces: Suicide, Let's Talk About it".</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIX3sAQunqKDm5g7nC6l-d2drHxs0hmX_RlLrgX3YjNILb-2q5XuJS3HNyZHQRTMLoxBHLd8kgPsaBBFRVH4rA1zfCLaJbiCZcBtBkX2wm4CRD4CyElhcyBKaDRKwqZqdVZG5HszIj-kVB/s800/ross+szabo-headshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIX3sAQunqKDm5g7nC6l-d2drHxs0hmX_RlLrgX3YjNILb-2q5XuJS3HNyZHQRTMLoxBHLd8kgPsaBBFRVH4rA1zfCLaJbiCZcBtBkX2wm4CRD4CyElhcyBKaDRKwqZqdVZG5HszIj-kVB/w112-h112/ross+szabo-headshot.jpg" width="112" /></a></div>Ross Szabo is an award-winning pioneer of the youth mental health movement and the CEO of the Human Power Project.

Educate your child about their family history, and yourself on the warning signs. Empower your child, don't enable them. Turn confrontation into conversation-always leaving the door open to talk. Ask open-ended questions. Check in regularly, do not fear asking directly about suicide, it saves lives: remain clam, nonthreatening, respond with empathy, reassurance and validation, letting them know you care, and that help is available. Help them prioritize the positives, model healthy coping strategies and self-care. The schools are engaging in the worked needed to support mental health and will keep moving forward in this area."</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">RESOURCES</h3><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://youtu.be/VobukupcEx4" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>Hear a brief recap of Ross Szabo's presentation and view the entire message from Dr. Jason Washburn (YouTube)</b></span></a></div><div><p><strong><a href="http://rossszabo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Ross Szabo's web site</span></a></strong></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/4kBTZXpNAmc" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b>Take 5: Parent Preview - Ross Szabo on Teen Mental Health</b></span></a></p><p><a href="https://childhoodresilience.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><b>Visit the Center for Childhood Resilience web site</b></a> (Dr. Jason Washburn)</p><p><a href="https://www.nami.org/Your-Journey/Kids-Teens-and-Young-Adults" target="_blank"><b>NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness: Kids, Teens and Young Adults</b></a></p><div style="text-align: left;"><b>National Suicide Prevention Lifeline</b><br />Hours: Available 24 hours.

She examined the science of stress and anxiety and offer practical tools to best manage emotional overload. Her insights offered an approach that allows each of us to keep pressure manageable during these difficult times.<p></p><p><i>Glenbard North parent Rebecca Elmore shared the following takeaway: </i></p><p>"Dr Damour offered important insights for us to share with our children. We need to rethink stress, it is necessary for growth building. Life will bring sadness sometime-good mental health is having the right feeling, at the right time. Discover the coping strategies that work for you-breathing techniques, healthy distractions to step away from the issue, and protect periods of rest. Help your teen name the emotion they are feeling. Then, it's our job to listen without interruption, 'Is there anything I can do that won't make this worse'? Offer empathy, validate, remain clam- to help collect their emotional trash."</p><p><b>A recap of the Question and Answer session of this event can be found <a href="https://youtu.be/Mn4suArMa40" target="_blank">here</a></b></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Resources</b></h2><p><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tf3F_rgLo4&ab_channel=GlenbardParentSeries" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">WGN Radio interview with Dr. Lisa Damour</span></a> </b>on September 16, 2021</p><p style="background-color: white;

Navigating the college admission process can be difficult, however, finding valuable options at a great price is possible. Frank Palmasani, author of Right College, Right Price and creator of the Financial Fit online program can help make that happen.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5AxlRI9ggoV6gAeoA4XhGz-2p37ngSWyxJmjlsd0UUttGrNqRh-Tp-ngYH9za27SiDDzZkrQNKwD98NiDosbHkEwIru2xVyOMlLcy8FcilTc7k6r3KQiiWXdR6poUAQSbylzwo-ZbYtBE/s499/right+college+right+price+palmasani.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="333" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5AxlRI9ggoV6gAeoA4XhGz-2p37ngSWyxJmjlsd0UUttGrNqRh-Tp-ngYH9za27SiDDzZkrQNKwD98NiDosbHkEwIru2xVyOMlLcy8FcilTc7k6r3KQiiWXdR6poUAQSbylzwo-ZbYtBE/w134-h200/right+college+right+price+palmasani.png" width="134" /></a></div><br />Frank Palmasani has been dedicated to helping families find affordable college options for more than 30 years. He started learning about the college financial aid process in 1976, his first year as a high school counselor. In 1981, he moved to the college level, eventually becoming a director of admissions. He has since returned to the high school arena as a guidance counselor, a job he continues to enjoy today. Out of these experiences, Palmasani created the Financial Fit program to reverse the trillion-dollar student debt problem—a problem that had no proven solution before now. His ideas have already helped more than 200,000 families keep college affordable, making it possible for students to graduate without excessive debt. He is a member of NACAC, IACAC, and the College Board. Palmasani has been featured in the Boston Herald, the Chicago Tribune, Yahoo Finance, WGN-TV, WTTW-TV, CBS’s Monsters and Money in the Morning, and is the author of Right College, Right Price.<p></p><p>Glenbard South parent Steve Friedman shared the following takeaway: </p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;">"Make sure you are openly communicating with your child's college representative to determine the best method to support your child's unique financial aid package, before counting out a college because of the sticker price. Don't assume help is not available. Early, proper planning is key to finding the best financial fit for students and their families."</p></blockquote><p><b>The link to the program can be found <a href=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnHrY4-WwtY" target="_blank">HERE</a></b></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">RESOURCES</h4><p><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.glenbardgps.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Palmasani-handouts-full-2021.pdf" rel="noopener" style="color: blue;" target="_blank"><strong>Handouts for this event (PDF)</strong></a></span></p><p><strong><a href="http://www.glenbardgps.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Conquering-College-Costs-2021-slides.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Conquering College Costs 2021 presentation slides (PDF)</span></a></strong></p><p><strong><a href="http://www.collegecountdown.com/the-top-experts/about-frank-palmasani.html">Website for Frank Palmasani/College Countdown</a></strong></p><p><a href="https://studentaid.gov/" target="_blank">Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)</a> </p><p><a href="https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa" target="_blank">FAFSA form</a></p><p><br /></p>Glenbard Parent Serieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06693470667389708054noreply@blogger.com
