Parkside Community School - Austin Texas Montessori School

 

Parenting Workshop: Boys and the Brain

Saturday, April 14, 10am-12pm, $20 per family

Join Michael Zumpano for a hands-on workshop suitable for parents of boys ages 2-10. Do biological differences matter for boys’ thoughts and actions? Maybe. Maybe not. We know that all of us tend to communicate in the style that we ourselves most prefer. So for mothers what different communication styles may reach many boys? For fathers, when and how do we step back? What brain development differences may impact how boys learn? What needs could we meet by making a few adjustments in our parenting?

Please RSVP to Shannon if you plan on attending. Fee is $20 per family payable to Parkside Community School by check or cash (bring to Shannon) or by credit card here. Bring a yoga mat or cushion and wear comfortable clothes. No crazy bendy stuff, but we are going to move! Michael is the co-founder of Minds in Motion Experiential Learning.

Parkside Community School
“Parkside has a wonderful reputation in the Montessori community of Austin, and thus intrigued us. But what kept us at Parkside is the love and support we feel from the teachers, admin, directors, and community. Our primary teachers were more than just "guides" -- they obviously cared for my children in my absence. And Joe and Claire are the loving shepherds of a small flock of eager sheep.”
