Follow through on your commitment to make this the best school year ever by attending this workshop with Dr. Robert Brooks, one of today's leading experts on the themes of resilience, self esteem, motivation and family relationships.
 Dr. Brooks, a best-selling author and faculty member of the Harvard University Medical School, will discuss "resilience" -- the ability of children and adolescents to deal more effectively with pressure and bounce back from adversity and disappoint in their personal, social, academic or athletic experiences.
Dr. Brooks will help parents equip their children with tools for coping with stress and pressure, overcoming adversity and disappointment, and nurturing motivation, empathy and responsibility.
This workshop is being held in conjunction with Dr. Brooks' keynote address at the Downers Grove Grade School District 58 Teacher Institute Day and will offer parents the unique opportunity to receive and reinforce the same information ttheir children's teachers will be hearing and using in the classroom.
Financial support for the workshop is provided by HGNA and the Downers Grove Character Counts Coalition.
The program is recommended for parents of girls and boys in grades K-8. Admission is free, but reservations are recommended due to limited seating.
