Friendship Challenges?

  • connect with other parents and caregivers
  • learn more about the social world of middle school girls
  • gain strategies to empower girls for positive friendships

    • "Friendships are so important to middle school girls! When we listen to girls, we learn very quickly about their relationships – the ups and downs," says Dr. Melissa Johnson, psychologist and Founder/CEO of the Institute for Girls' Development. What can girls do when friendships are unfriendly - in the neighborhood, at school or online? What can caring adults do to help? Join us for 4 engaging, informative, and fun Tuesday nights.

    The social world of children is complex! Our children tell us about conflicts, mean kids, sometimes belonging, and sometimes getting left out. What can parents do to help children navigate the complicated world of friendship and social relationships? New research on social, emotional and mindful intelligence is a rich source for information and tools for parents.

    Presenter Dr. Melissa Johnson, psychologist, founder and CEO of the Institute for Girls’ Development, is an expert on children’s social and emotional development. Her engaging presentations provide information, practical strategies, and resources to empower parents. Her numerous articles on raising resilient children have appeared in community online blogs and newsletters.
