Boys are far more likely than girls to be diagnosed with learning disabilities, face disciplinary measures, or drop out of school prematurely.
That's because their needs are often overlooked, or demands are made that are developmentally unrealistic.
With the right support, we can ensure that our boys thrive in school settings with confidence and enthusiasm, rather than simply seeing their challenges as problems to be solved.
Join Susan and Maggie for tools that will help your boys do well emotionally, behaviorally and academically.
This session is relevant for parents of young boys through young adults.
