Getting Your Child Through Middle and High School: More Fulfillment and Less Stress

Join the Cedar School’s Head of School, Clay Kaufman, and Dr. Bill Stixrud in a seminar hosted by the Rye Library to learn how to help your children achieve academic success.

With increasing pressure to “cover” huge amounts of material and devote hours and hours to homework and activities, teenagers and their parents are feeling more stressed than ever. It seems hard to find room for the traditional times to recharge—downtime, family dinners and sleep. Join Clay Kaufman, Head of School at The Cedar School, and William Stixrud, PhD, for a chance to explore ways to alleviate stress while still learning and succeeding. Learn ways to help your children—whether they have learning differences or not—achieve in school while leading fulfilling, happier lives.
