Did you know that compared to IQ scores, self-control is twice as predictive of success in adulthood? Did you know that intelligence and will power are like muscles that need to be worked, but not overworked? Learn parenting skills that can make a huge difference in how your teen turns out in terms of strong character, stable relationships, and successful academic performance. Dr. Kastner is a clinical professor in the departments of Psychology and Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington. She is the co-author of four books on adolescent development and has written many parenting articles. She also has a private practice in which she sees children, couples, and families.

The Mask You Live In Tuesday, March 10, 2015 LAHS Eagle Theater at 7pm The Mask You Live In, a film premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2015, examines how America’s narrow definition of masculinity is harming boys, men, and society at large. Research shows that boys in the U.S. are more likely than girls to be diagnosed with a behavior disorder, prescribed stimulant medications, fail out of school, binge drink, commit a violent crime, and/or take their own lives. We will follow the film with a discussion moderated by Dr. Jerry Shapiro. The following link is to a trailer: http://therepresentationproject.org/films/the-mask-you-live-in/ Ryan McKelley, Ph.D. Unmasking Masculinity: Helping Boys Become Connected Men Thursday, April 16, 2015 MVHS Spartan Theatre at 7pm Dr. Ryan McKelley is an associate professor of clinical counseling psychology at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. He will be talking about the impact of societal norms on boys that cause them to mask their emotions of joy, compassion, sympathy, fear, and vulnerability. To counter this trend, Dr. McKelley argues we need to teach boys about the richness and importance of social connection. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Learn more.
