Maharishi School is thrilled to offer a series of live webinars with some of the most renowned names in education and child development. The first webinar will be shown on the night of Sept. 25, from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm in the Maharishi School auditorium.
In this webinar, titled “Setting Kids Up for Success,” Dr. Lisa Damour will address how to help children and teenagers manage uncomfortable emotions, adapt to new challenges, and cope with stress effectively. She will also cover when it’s time to worry about how a child or teen is doing at school and, under those circumstances, what to do.
All parents, teachers, and caregivers in the Fairfield community are welcome. Immediately following the webinar, Brett Potash, Head of School, will be available for a Q&A session to delve deeper into the topic.
