Learn more about the event: Parents of boys often find themselves bewildered or frustrated by certain aspects of boy development: their little-boy anger, their inattentiveness in elementary school, their lack of motivation in middle school or their reluctance to talk to their parents during the high school years. In this funny and reassuring talk, Dr. Thompson addresses the greatest worries that parents of boys have from lower school through upper school, distinguishing between what is normal boy development and those behaviors that are worrisome.
Michael G. Thompson, Ph.D. is a consultant, author and psychologist specializing in children and families. He is the supervising psychologist for the Belmont Hill School and has worked in more than seven hundred schools across the United States, as well as in international schools in Central America, Europe, Africa and Asia.
Parents are invited to line the sidewalks across the street in the Terraces to watch the boys as they parade through campus with their 5th Grade Buddies! Here is a map of the parade route we will be taking. No worries if you are unable to make it - We will take lots of pictures and post them in the Parent Photo Gallery!
