PTF Parent Up Speaker Series

Performing Arts Center - Marcus D. Hurlbut Theater - 1000
Each year the PTF works with the school leaders to identify engaging speakers for parent education. This year's series has a health and wellness theme with our final speaker in the series emphasizing the psychological journey of being a student today. .Come listen to Dr. Michael Thompson, author of The Pressured Child: Helping Your Child Achieve Success in School and in Life.
In his presentation, Dr. Thompson will discuss the psychological journey children experience during their 13 years in school as they constantly search for three things: connection, recognition and a sense of power. Listen as he talks about topics in his book, The Pressured Child: Helping Your Child Find Success in School and in Life, written to help parents understand the complex emotional journey children undergo from kindergarten to grade 12. Themes will include best friends and worst enemies, the emotional challenges awaiting students at college, and how parents can reconnect after separation or absenteeism.

Dr. Thompson is a consultant, author and psychologist specializing in children and families. He is the supervising psychologist for the Belmont Hill School and has worked in more than 700 schools across the United States, as well as in international schools.

Dr. Thompson will be leading small group discussions for those wishing to continue the dialogue and ask follow-up questions from 2 – 4 p.m. in the Wallace Hall Board Room (same building where the Business Office and PTF reside). Please feel welcome to join the discussion at any tiime.

A reception will be held at 8:15 a.m. with coffee and light refreshments. Don’t miss out on a chance to hear thought-provoking and intriguing discussion.
