How to Raise Socially Skilled Tweens & Teens Who Can Navigate Friendship Challenges

led by Phyllis L. Fagel

Wednesday, January 15

7:30-8:30 p.m.



Register here for the webinar (advanced registration is required)

Tweens and teens need to feel a sense of belonging in order to take social and academic risks, manage social setbacks, cope with intense emotions, and make smart choices online and offline. In her session, author and licensed clinical counselor Phyllis L. Fagell will share practical ways to boost your child's social skills, scaffold risk-taking at an age when they fear embarrassment, and help them find their place in the pack. While the strategies apply to all kids, she will concentrate most on kids in grades 3-10.
