ARCH Presents...  

The Adolescent Brain: Hormones, Smartphones & Parental Groans   

 

Have you ever asked your child "WHAT were you THINKING???"

Jerry McMullen, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist and certified
school psychologist, will speak about exactly what is going in our sons' and daughters' brains during the adolescent/teen years and what behavioral implications
and vulnerabilities come with the territory.  Jerry will also discuss the gender-based differences in perception and thought that may hinder parents from being on the same page.


TESD parents, care-givers and staff are invited to this free event. No RSVP required.

Location: T/E Middle School Auditorium
