11:00 – 12:00 PM “Supporting Appropriate Social Interactions – How to Handle Friendship Problems,
“Crushes” and Bullying
Location: Library
Presenter: Mr. Craig Miller, Guidance Counselor, Sol Feinstone
Target Audience: Parents of All Students
Children in elementary school encounter a wide range of social challenges. It is a time in which children need to
learn how to “fit in” as well as express themselves as individuals. As adults, we tend to focus on our children’s
academic progress when we think about their schooling. For children, however, school is often seen as a social
place with intermittent periods of instruction and assignments. The challenge at this age and beyond is to help
them find the correct balance between work and play as they build healthy, rewarding and respectful peer
relationships.
1:00 – 2:00 PM “The Overscheduled Family”
Location: Library
Presenter: Dr. Deborah VanAken
Target Audience: Parents of All Students
This session will include a presentation and active community discussion around common stressors for parents,
such as:
• Is my family too busy?
• How do I know when too much is too much for my child to manage?
• What are the pros and the cons of the schedules we keep?
• I know we are too busy, but how do I simplify the schedule?
• My child wants to try many activities. How do we keep the right balance?
