Preparing our Children for the Road, not the Road for our Children

Please join us April 5th for a presentation from Dr. Julie Robinson on “Preparing our Children for the Road, not the Road for our Children.”

Dr. Robinson will be highlighting the benefits of parenting our youth for a “growth” mindset rather than a “fixed” one. Apart from talent and intellect, often worshiped in our society, we need to help our youth realize that challenges, failures, and sheer effort are critical tools in finding their paths.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. with the presentation beginning at 7:00 p.m.  If you have any questions please contact Brent Johnson (bgjohnson@hill-murray.org).
