Parent Presentation

This blog update is for your parents so if you could please make sure that your guardian sees it, I would appreciate it.

The Worthington Schools K-12 Counselors were awarded a grant from the Worthington Education Foundation to host a series of presentations by Norman Shub, Ph.D., the Clinical Director of the Gestalt Institute of Central Ohio.  Norman Shub is an author, teacher and psychotherapist who is a leader in the guiding of individuals, couples, families and communities toward solutions.  He will be presenting to Worthington parents about The Importance of Letting Your Child Struggle.  I suspect that this might sound like a strange topic, but all children must struggle in order to grow.  

In this workshop you will learn to: make your child proud of the things they master, help your child develop grit and perseverance, and help your child be emotionally independent.

I know that all of the feedback I heard from parents who attended the presentation Dr. Shub provided last spring on Anxiety really appreciated the opportunity to learn from him and so I hope that parents will plan to attend this session.

The workshop will be held next Wednesday, September 13th from 6:30 - 8:00pm in the TWHS Auditorium.  (Please note that it is at TWHS and not at WKHS!)

We do ask that you RSVP if possible using the following website:  https://goo.gl/forms/bV8e5NiPlVh46SpB3

I look forward to seeing you at the presentation!
