Being a parent is fun – but it is also challenging at times. Commonwealth Parenting is an outstanding local resource for parents and grandparents. Helping children face the pressures of school and social activities can be difficult at times.
Commonwealth Parenting is bringing in the expert to help. Michael Thompson will meet with parents to talk about “The Pressured Child” in October. He will share stories from the trenches, taking parents and teachers into the school day experience of children, illuminating how they manage their school careers and how the best educators and wisest parents can support them along the way. Michael Thompson, Ph.D., is a noted psychologist, author and co-author of 8 books, including the New York Times bestseller, Raising Cain; Best Friends Worst Enemies, and The Pressured Child. A dessert reception and book-signing by Dr. Thompson will follow the talk. The event is Tuesday, October 18, 2011 with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and presentation at 7:00 p.m. It will be held at The Steward School, Paul R. Cramer Center for the Arts, 11600 Gayton Road, Richmond, VA. Ticket purchases benefit the scholarship fund of Commonwealth Parenting. Tickets are available online or by phone.
