May 6: Unraveling Parenting Myths with Doug Bolton
Children are struggling emotionally in unprecedented ways, and often, families struggle to know how to best support them. Unfortunately, many modern parenting practices and beliefs interfere with children's emotional development.
In Celebration of Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day, the Debra Gelfand Children’s Foundation has invited Psychologist Doug Bolton to speak to D34 families on Monday, May 6, at 7:00pm at Attea Middle School (2500 Chestnut Ave). Dr. Bolton will identify the myths that create unnecessary pressure on families and will share strategies that will help you refocus your caregiving energy on the things that support wellness in your children and yourself.
Doug Bolton is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Director of School Consultation for Formative Psychological Services. He spent over 20 years as a psychologist and principal at North Shore Academy, a K-12 therapeutic school in Highland Park. Dr. Bolton provides consultation, supervision and professional development to caregivers, educators, and clinicians throughout northern Illinois to create communities that help foster child and adult resilience.
