Learn from the experts about how shame affects learning, and how to support your child as they face emotional challenges at school.

Join us with Dr. Leslie Shelton, expert in the role of emotions in childhood and adult learning, for a presentation and Q&A about how emotions — of both parents and students — can either promote or hinder the learning process. With over 25 years of experience in academic support, community education and counseling, Dr. Shelton has a wealth of knowledge to offer parents, educators and students. 

During the talk, we’ll discuss effective tips and strategies for promoting emotional wellbeing among teenagers and their families as they face academic and personal challenges. Parents will learn about the key components of the emotional system, understand what motivates or shuts down their child, and gain insights into how to effectively support their child’s learning.
