Stop the Madness – Parenting for Real Success with Lew Epstein, LCSW
Do you ever worry about whether your child is experiencing too much pressure?
There is a growing awareness that often, with the very best intentions, parents allow their children to be exposed to too many stressors. In this workshop we will examine & challenge traditional thinking about how we prepare our children for success. We will review current child- expert literature which points to a silent epidemic of stress brought on by over-scheduling, over- testing and relentless pressure to achieve. This workshop will offer parents practical advice and parenting strategies aimed at fostering healthy development and success while protecting the joy and freedom of childhood.
Lew Epstein, LCSW, conducts frequent workshops and seminars on parenting issues. He has a private practice in South Orange and is the author of Coaching for Fatherhood.

Boys will Be Boys ...or Maybe Not with Mark S. Lowenthal, Psy.D.
In this workshop, we will identify the social and emotional challenges that boys encounter at school, at home and on the playground. We will explore the wide spectrum of normal boy development, as well as some of the potentially harmful assumptions and attitudes we've developed toward young boyhood over the last few decades. We will look at more sensitive boys as well as some of the best ways to keep an angry boy or teen talking. This workshop will offer practical strategies so that parents can successfully understand and communicate with their sons and help them grow into healthy and smart young men.
Mark Lowenthal, Psy.D. has worked with many adults, adolescents, children and families during his 24 years as a clinical psychologist in private practice in Maplewood. He is the co-author of Smart Parenting for Smart Kids: Nurturing Your Child’s True Potential (Jossey-Bass/Wiley).
