FOSTERING EMOTIONAL IQ IN YOUR CHILD
Presented by Dr. Vicki Chiang
Expert on child development and parenting
Clinical Director and Faculty Member of the Institute for Girls’ Development
When: Wednesday, October 18, 2017, 7:00 – 8:30pm
As parents there are many ways we want to help our children succeed. Get good grades, excel in sports, play an instrument, prepare for exams…but is that enough? Research is showing that more and more young adults are floundering and unable to handle the pressures of college or the workforce. Research also indicates that these significant struggles later on can stem from a lack of emphasis in helping children and teens learn more about: their emotions, communicating feelings effectively, and coping with distress.
Come learn proven tools that can help your child (and you) better communicate about feelings and cope with them when they arise. Emotion regulation, stress management and communication skills enrich our children’s lives – and help them succeed empowered and resilient young adults.
