Parent Awareness Network Presents Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Lives of Boys
Monday, April 02, 2012
The Darien YWCA & the Darien Library present another Parent Awareness presentation. Michael Thompson, Ph.D. will be speaking at Darien High School tonight, on the special aspects of raising boys. Educators and parents in the United States are engaged in an important debate about the way we raise and educate boys. After years of research on gender equity in schools, it is time to consider some of the risk factors that afflict the lives of boys.
Why are boys 4 times more likely than girls to be sent to school psychologists?
Why are boys diagnosed with 60-80% of learning disorders?
Are their areas of strength, physical and visual-spatial perception, valued in the quiet, word-dominated school environment?
Monday, April 2nd, 7 - 9 PM
The program called, Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Lives of Boys will give moms and dads special tips on helping their adolescent boys remain emotionally open and out of trouble.
Registration is recommended and free, click here to sign up.
