Parent Workshops on Executive Functioning

January 25, 2019

Belmont Day School and Dr. Karen Lindem will present Executive Functioning and Our Children: Building Strategies for Success on two Wednesday evenings in February and March. Dr. Lindem is a clinical neuropsychologist and licensed psychologist with expertise in learning issues and developmental processes across the life span with Cambridge Center for Neuropsychology and Learning.

Part 1 will take place on Wednesday, February 13 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Dr. Lindem will cover cognitive regulation—how children learn to regulate their attention and thought across different environments such as home, school, and playing with friends that may have different demands.

Part 2 will take place on Wednesday, March 27, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Dr. Lindem will discuss behavioral/emotional regulation—how children learn to regulate their behaviors, emotions, and even motivation across different environments.

Please join us for one or both of these workshops. Participation is limited to 20 and pre-registration is required. Childcare will be available. Please email Mary Ellen Coyne-Gordon to register.
