Book Club on April 12th
Join the Parent Education Committee Book Club on Friday April 12th at 8:00 a.m. in Hauser Hall as we discuss "Why Good Kids Act Cruel: The Hidden Truth about the Pre-Teen Years" by Carl Pickhardt, PhD. In this book Dr. Pickardt answers why do many good children increasingly treat each other badly starting as early as late elementary school; when does this meanness become most common; what are the objectives this deliberate mistreatment; how is it typically delivered; and what can parents and teachers do to help children in response?
Please let us know if you are interested in attending at parentguild@stmes.org.
