Many Hawai’i families worry about the changes their elementary children face in transitioning to middle/intermediate school. Over the past years, thousands of parents have told us our “Untangling Adolescence” workshop made a big difference for them.
An educational psychology professor (who is also a parent) provides an enjoyable and enlightening presentation on how adolescents think and change.
Parents, come and learn how you can help your child.
Educators, come and see if this is a program you’d like us to present to parents at your school.
