Smart Parenting for Smart Kids with Mark Lowenthal

It takes more than school smarts to build a fulfilling life. Our culture’s relentless focus on achievement and performance can eclipse other aspects of children’s development and leave them feeling anxious, disconnected, irritable, or filled with self-doubt.

Drawing from research and clinical experience, this program for parents offers doable strategies to help children learn to temper perfectionism, build relationships, and find joy. It also offers specific approaches parents can use to guide children toward developing inner strength and outward empathy.

Mark Lowenthal, PsyD is a clinical psychologist with a practice in Maplewood. He has been helping families for over 20 years.
