Institute for Girls' DevelopmentPresentation by Dr. Melissa Johnson from the Institute for Girl's Development

The social world of children is complex!  The media tells us about “mean girls,” “bullying,”  “harassment” and “odd girls out.”  Our children tell us about conflicts, mean kids, cliques, sometimes belonging, and sometimes getting left out.  What can parents do to help children navigate the complicated world of friendship and social relationships?
Dr. Melissa Johnson, psychologist, founder and CEO of the Institute for Girls' Development, will address this important question in her presentation. Dr. Johnson is an expert on child development and the social world of children.  Her engaging presentations provide information, practical strategies, and resources to empower parents.
