Parenting Series: Adolescent RISE, with Nicholas Thompson

About this event

Adolescent RISE is a presentation for parents/caregivers that takes a fun and informative look at the developmental period of adolescence (ages 10 – 25). It includes debunking myths about adolescence, understanding the four qualities of adolescence (risk taking, identity formation, social reorientation, and emotional intensity), and learning about the tweenage brain. With this foundation established, ways to better support our kids will be discussed.
