TYTF presentation: “The Pressured Child” with Michael G. Thompson, PhD

Darien’s Thriving Youth Task Force presents an evening with Michael G. Thompson, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author of “The Pressured Child: Helping Your Child Find Success in School and Life.” Thompson will speak about the psychological journey that children experience during their school career and how parents can best support them along the way. Each journey has its own different pressures, and every child is constantly developing strategies for coping with the pressures that they feel.

“The Pressured Child” is, in fact, a presentation for “pressured parents” who have forgotten what school is actually like, and “pressured educators” who are trying to respond to the anxiety of families who believe, erroneously, that there is a one-to-one correlation between school performance and success in life.

In-person location TBD.
