Seminar - fostering resiliency through self-regulation

Photo: cbc.ca
The Toronto Catholic District School Board is hosting a terrific speaker on Wednesday night, and has kindly extended the invitation to parents from other boards as well. 

Stuart Shankar is a psychologist and researcher from York University. His book Calm, Alert and Learning focuses on fostering resiliency through self-regulation. The idea is that stress and anxiety can prevent children from learning, and that the kids themselves can notice this and learn to regulate their own mental state so that they will be ready and willing to learn. 

Read more about his ideas in this CBC article and, if you're interested in attending his presentation, find location details and a registration link here. The seminar is Wednesday May 14, 7:00pm at Yonge and Sheppard.
