Real-life parenting: challenges, strategies, opportunities…

As the pace of life accelerates, as media influences intensify, and as the future grows less predictable, parents and teachers find it harder to be confident - harder to know how to raise competent, caring children. On Monday, November 15, 2010 Robert Evans, Clinical and Organizational Psychologist shared concrete advice how to resist negative influences in the surrounding culture, how to help foster strength and resilience in our children.

Dr. Evans is a clinical and organizational psychologist and the Executive Director of The Human Relations Service, in Wellesley.  A former high school and pre-school teacher and a former child and family therapist, he has worked with schools and families here and around the country for thirty-five years. His presentations are known for their lively wit and plain talk.  He is the author of many articles and three books, including: Family Matters: How Schools Can Cope with the Crisis in Childrearing.
