Parent Education Morning: Thank You!

By Ms. Kirsten Bowles, Junior School Counsellor 

Thank you to the over 75 parents who attended the October 3 presentation by Dr. Deborah MacNamara titled “Who’s in Charge? Parenting from the Alpha Position.”

Although the target audience was our primary parent group, Dr. MacNamara was able to connect the material to children of all ages and stages. The feedback from our attendees was extremely positive; parents remarked at the relatable and humorous approach that Dr. MacNamara brought to the material. Click here for the presentation slides.
