Dedham Country Day School, speaker event

February 12, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

  • « Morses Pond Public Hearing #3
  • Be a Sweetheart: Closet Clean-Out Donation Event »
An evening speaker series at Dedham Country Day School for parents and caregivers. Public welcome.

About this Event

Modern parenting is defined by an unprecedented level of overprotectiveness: parents who rush to school at the whim of a phone call to deliver forgotten assignments, who challenge teachers on report card disappointments, mastermind children’s friendships, and interfere on the playing field. In an effort to be highly responsive to our children’s well being, we as parents aren’t giving them the chance to experience failure — or the opportunity to learn to solve their own problems.

Dedham Country Day School

Lahey lays out a blueprint with targeted advice for handling homework, report cards, social dynamics, and sports. Most importantly, she sets forth a plan to help parents learn to step back so that children can grow up to be successful, resilient, and self-reliant adults.

Come hear from Jessica at this complimentary evening program.

SPONSORED POST: At Dedham Country Day School (DCD) for children ages PreK – grade 8, we believe that balance matters—in learning and life. We combine academic challenge with support; pedagogical tradition with innovation. Strong scholastics along with outstanding arts and athletics create a program that is balanced and whole. Here, a premium is placed on both academic and emotional intelligence.

Visit the DCD campus:

Visit us, and you’ll get a sense of how our students learn to think creatively and critically. You’ll see kids being kids—and being themselves. You’ll witness them tackling hands-on projects, collaborating, taking risks, solving problems—and, most of all, enjoying their experience.

At DCD, students learn who they are as diverse individuals and how to be part of something bigger. Acceptance is a given, and children find encouragement in every connection they make. It’s a community that nurtures, nudges, and gives. That’s how we grow “whole” children — and, ultimately, adults who will thrive with the intellectual and emotional capacity to contribute to their world and enjoy meaningful lives.

Our 17-acre campus is just minutes from Route 128 in Dedham. Please visit our website for admissions event details or email [email protected]
