M-A PARENT EDUCATION SERIES

"The Culture of Perfectionism"

Ana Homayoun, author of The Myth of the Perfect Girl

Thursday, May 2, 2013, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.

M-A Center for the Performing Arts (PAC)

Join us on May 2 for a special presentation by Ana Homayoun, M.A., on "The Culture of Perfectionism." Ms. Homayoun is the founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting and author of That Crumpled Paper was Due Last Week and the newly-released book, The Myth of the Perfect Girl: Helping our Daughters Find Authentic Success and Happiness in School and Life.

In her important new book, Ana Homayoun sheds light on the challenges facing our teens today in light of today's ever-increasing mix of technology, socialization, and learning. In our achievement-based culture, many of our teens are doing remarkably well, excelling in honors classes and sports and attending top colleges in ever greater numbers-but beneath the surface, many are stressed-out, overwhelmed, and burnt-out as they strive to achieve an unobtainable sense of "perfection."

Kepler's Books, a Community Partner of the M-A Parent Education Series, will offer copies of "The Myth of the Perfect Girl" at the event. Sign up now - tickets will go quickly!

REGISTER AT: http://menloathertonanahomayoun.eventbrite.com/

This event is free and sponsored by the Menlo-Atherton PTA and the Sequoia Healthcare District. Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be offered.

For more information, please contact Charlene Margot, M-A Parent Education Series Program Director, at cmargot@csmconsulting.net or 650.868.0590.
