Atid Weekly Update 2/7/19

Shalom Families,

I look forward to seeing you on Saturday at Youth Shabbat, responses from Atid families have been a bit quiet, PLEASE JOIN US! Come by 11 am at the latest.  

 

2/10- Sunday at 11:15 pm, Camp Moshava will be here to promote their camp and answer your questions. Please see the flyer about an open house they are having later in the day. 

 

I saw this program posted on the Politics and Prose’s weekly email.  I thought some of you may be interested.

Tuesday, February 12 at 7 p.m.

In The Orchid and the Dandelion, Dr. Boyce expands upon and fully explores the theory of “orchid” and “dandelion” children. Orchids are those who are naturally sensitive and frail and dandelions are those who are resilient and healthy. Boyce posits that while orchids may be more susceptible to depression, anxiety, ADHD, and antisocial or violent behaviors than dandelion children, that doesn’t mean they cannot do just as well—if not better— than their dandelion peers, if given proper and adequate attention. Utilizing exhaustive research studies complemented by personal anecdotes, Boyce offers hope and pathways to success for the adults who care for and about these so-called difficult children. Part of the Parenting Series. For adults.
