We believe that creating a strong parent-school partnership is paramount to student success. To continue to grow that partnership, we are excited to host a forum for parents and guardians of students in grades 3-8, Navigating Social Skills and Social Media: Preparing for Adolescence! Join us on Tuesday, February 6 at 6:30pm in the Middle School Math Room as Beth Carver from the Phoenix School Counseling leadership team leads us through an impactful presentation.

Our children are more stressed and anxious than at any time in modern history. How we parent and manage emotions at home can protect our children and bolster their emotional resilience, or it can hinder development and make things worse. This session will focus on parenting strategies that promote healthy psychological development. The influences of technology, the pressures of modern life, and common parenting mistakes will be discussed. Parents will leave with concrete strategies to help their children thrive.

Beth Carver is a mental health clinician who specializes in children's and teen mental health as well as effective parenting and school strategies and approaches. She has experience working to address anxiety, depression, social and friendship difficulties, eating disorders, substance use and abuse, and family transitions related to divorce and death.

Childcare will be provided.
