Psychologist Will Talk About Ways To Motivate Young Boys In Ridgewood Tuesday

RIDGEWOOD, NJ - A child psychologist will speak about how parents can better motivate young boys to be more engaged learners at a special talk Tuesday.

Dr. Adam Price will speak of the stress boys are feeling due to the “affluent, achievement-oriented, and competitive culture” that has created a “pressure cooker” for today’s students, especially young boys, according to a notice about the talk.

Price has more than 20 years of experience in the fields of child and adolescent psychology. He has published articles on family and child therapy in academic journals, books, and newspapers, including Family Circle magazine and The Wall Street Journal. He has discussed topics ranging from child discipline to the impact of video games on children on “Good Day New York” and other television and radio programs.

The program will be held in the Benjamin Franklin Middle School auditorium from 7 to 9 p.m.
