With compassion and intelligence, Brad Sachs, Ph.D. returns to our stage to explore the physical and psychological challenges of adolescence. He shares insights and practical guidance to help us enjoy, appreciate and better understand our teens. Dr. Sachs’ books include The Good Enough Teen: How To Raise Adolescents with Love and Acceptance and Emptying the Nest: Launching Your Young Adult Towards Success and Self-Reliance. On April 24, he will devote his evening talk to parents of juniors and seniors and present strategies for guiding young adults toward independence.
Note: Thanks for coming to the Brad Sachs event. We will be posting the video of his talk at Harker Lower school soon. Our 2013 – 2014 slate will be announced in the near future. Please sign up for our newsletter for speaker news and event summaries.
