Smart Parenting Workshop with Mark Lowenthal

The JCC of Central NJ is hosting a free parenting workshop featuring psychologist and speaker Mark Lowenthal, PsyD, co-author of Smart Parenting for Smart Kids: Nurturing Your Child’s True Potential. 

This free workshop, which is open to the public, is ideal for parents with children ages 4-12.

Lowenthal will focus on the belief that it takes more than school smarts to build a fulfilling life.  He believes that our culture’s relentless focus on achievement and performance can eclipse other aspects of children’s development and leave them feeling anxious, disconnected, irritable or filled with self-doubt.  Drawing from research and clinical experience, Dr. Lowenthal will offer parents do-able strategies to help their children learn to temper perfectionism, build relationships and find joy.
