Woodlynde School Welcomed Dr. Lisa Damour

Lisa Damour, Ph.D., pulled back the curtain on the teenage years and talked about why a teenager's erratic and confusing behavior is actually healthy, necessary, and natural. We had a fantastic turnout of parents, educators, and professionals from not only the Woodlynde Community, but from the Main Line Community and beyond!
“Just wait till she’s a teenager! Most parents have been warned about the stress of raising a teen: the friction with friends, the rush of emotions, the stinging rudeness followed by sweet affection. But your child’s teenage years don’t have to feel like a tangled mess for you or them. There’s a predictable pattern to how children grow, a blueprint for adolescent development." - Dr. Lisa Damour
