[CCHS] Reminder - Michael Thompson Presentation - Thursday, February 4th 7 pm at CCHS Auditorium

[Linda Miller]

Dear CCHS Parents,

 

Please join us on Thursday, February 4, 2010 in the 7 pm CCHS Auditorium

 

Michael G. Thompson, Ph.D. will discuss: "The Pressured Child: Helping Your
Child Find Success in School and Life"

 

 

Michael Thompson is a consultant, author and psychologist specializing in
children and families. He is clinical consultant to The Belmont Hill School
and has worked in more than five hundred schools across the US, Central
America, Europe and Asia. He co-authored the New York Times best-selling
book, Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys. He is the author
of Speaking of Boys: Answers to the Most-Asked Questions about Raising Sons,
and co-author of Best Friends/Worst Enemies: Understanding the Social Worlds
of Children, and Mom, They're Teasing Me: Helping Your Child Solve Social
Problems. 

 

The Pressured Child: Helping Your Child Achieve Success in School and in
Life was written to help parents understand the complex journey of children
through school. "The Pressured Child" is, in fact, a presentation for
"pressured parents" who have forgotten what school is actually like. It is a
talk for parents who are gripped by worries and misapprehensions about their
children's life in school. 

In the presentation, Dr. Thompson describes the psychological journey that
children experience during their thirteen years in school. He reminds
parents that children are almost never judging themselves by grades: they
are always monitoring their own development and constantly searching for
three things: connection, recognition and a sense of power. In this talk, he
shares stories from the trenches, taking parents 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.

 

A dedicated speaker, Michael Thompson has appeared on The Today Show, Oprah
Winfrey, ABC 20/20, CBS 60 Minutes, The Early Show and Good Morning America.
