Fostering Childhood & Teen Success
Without Compromising Mental Health or Losing the Joy of Learning
Madeline Levine, Ph.D.
Clinical psychologist Madeline Levine, Ph.D., the best-selling author of The Price of Privilege and Teach Your Children Well, will speak candidly about what she feels are the current hot button topics for parents, schools, and kids.
Levine reports that our nation’s ideas of success have led to children and teens who are stressed, anxious, depressed, and exhausted (as are many parents)…Though bucking the trend may be a challenge, parents who want their kids to succeed without compromising their health or losing the joy of learning will be buoyed by Levine’s support, encouragement, and guidance.
