Dr. Michael Davidovits is back! He's one of PSP's trusted experts in child and adolescent psychology, and he's here to give us much-needed insight into our tweens and teens through the filter of this challenging year.
Join PSP and Dr. Davidovits on Thursday, April 22nd @ 7:30pm for Insight into Adolescence: The Covid Edition.
So much has changed after a year of remote schooling, lockdowns, and social isolation, Dr. Davidovits will help us understand normal adolescent development and what may have been altered by the experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic. Among the questions we will discuss are:
- What is the spectrum of "normal" adolescent behavior vs what we are seeing now?
- What are appropriate and realistic expectations and limits for parents to set at this time?
- How do we support our teens who are struggling with social isolation, exhibiting more anxiety and depression, and are more obsessed than ever with online engagement?
- We’ve spent much more time with our tweens and teens than in non-quarantine times. How can we take a step back and get some perspective?
- How do we deal with our kid's provocations and anxiety-provoking experimentation in light of all they've been through this year?
When: Thursday, April 22nd
Time: 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Cost: $30.00/members & $35.00/non-members**
