BeTWIXT & BeTWEEN: Parenting Mindfully in the Modern Age

BeTWIXT & BeTWEEN: Parenting Mindfully in the Modern Age

We know you have questions about raising your tween…

 

What is “normal development?”

Who is this delightful but terrifying, demanding yet needy, loving but fiercely independent new person in our lives?

How do we prepare ourselves and our kids for what’s around the bend - adolescence?

Where can we connect with other parents in the same situation?

 

PSP [Park Slope Parents]  can help with ALL of these questions!

Join our PSP Tweens Advisory Board experts for a powerful workshop to learn science-based information about the physical, emotional and cognitive development of your tween.

 

Our experts will share insights and provide practical strategies to help you:

• Support your child through this important transitional phase.
• Create a lasting bond that will get you through the teenage years.

With less door slamming and shouting, our experts will help you deal with:

• The dramatic external and internal changes going on inside your child right now.
• The complex relationship navigation and heightened abstract thinking your child experiences every day.
