TOMORROW: November 4GPS Event featuring Dr. Laurence Steinbergy, Ph.D.
Age of Opportunity: A Practical Workshop for Parents
Please join us on Tuesday, November
4, 2014, for a GPS presentation by Dr. Laurence Steinberg, Age of Opportunity : A Practical Workshop for
Parents, from noon until 2:00 p.m. at GLENBARD SOUTH.
When parents are asked
to name the most difficult periods in their child’s development, the teen years
usually are at the top of the list. But with a better understanding of how and
why your child is changing during the transition into and through adolescence,
you can become a more effective parent, reduce the amount of conflict you and
your teenager have, help your teenager develop in positive ways, and maintain
your own equanimity.
In this workshop, Laurence Steinberg, Ph.D., one of
the world’s leading authorities on adolescence, will provide an overview of the
major physical, intellectual, social, and emotional changes that take place as
children move into and through adolescence. You will gain an understanding of
how your teenager thinks, why his or her behavior is changing, how your
relationship is being transformed, and how all of this is affecting parents’ own
well-being.
