Insight into Adolescence: The Covid Edition
Dr. Michael Davidovits is back! One of PSP's trusted experts in child and adolescent psychology will give us insight into our tweens and teens through the filter of this challenging year.
So much has changed after a year of remote schooling, lockdowns, and social isolation, Dr. Davidovits will help us understand normal adolescent development and what may have been altered by the experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic.
- What is the spectrum of "normal" adolescent behavior vs what we are seeing now?
-
What are appropriate and realistic expectations and limits for parents to set at this time?
- How do we support our teens who are struggling with social isolation, exhibiting more anxiety and depression, and are more obsessed than ever with online engagement?
- We’ve spent more time with our tweens and teens than in non-quarantine times. How can we take a step back and get some perspective?
-
How do we deal with our kid's provocations and anxiety-provoking experimentation in light of all they've been through this year?

Feedback from people who have been to Dr. Davidovits's talks:
Thanks for an excellent evening. The ideas were great and have given me a new perspective on working with my kids to stay connected in a fun, learning and loving relationship.

I highly recommend this informative, detailed and calm workshop that provides some excellent hands-on tools and ideas for helping tween/teen parents to better understand and navigate the amazing (terrifying, beautiful, intense, complicated) wild ride of adolescence. Dr. Davidovits gives you food for thought for years to come. I have attended two of his lectures - one at NYU and one hosted by PSP. I often consult my notes from these workshops - especially to remember some of the smart responses and conversation openers – when I need to have a conversation with my teen.

I can recommend this workshop! I went with my husband and I think he found it particularly valuable as he doesn't read a lot of books/articles about parenting.
