RAISING CAIN: THE EMOTIONAL LIFE OF BOYS
Saturday, February 27, 1-4pm
In this two part workshop we will explore the social and emotional challenges that boys encounter in family life and school. And, we ask ourselves, “How can we help boys cultivate emotional awareness and empathy?” - giving them the vital connections and support they need to navigate the social pressures of youth. Using clips of the PBS documentary, authors Dan Kindlon and Michael Thompson, two of the country’s leading psychologists, share what they have learned working with boys and their families.
