“Mention the words ‘middle school,’ and most adults groan. I get it.” So starts the introduction of a fascinating book that shows how parents can help kids not
just survive, but thrive in these important years of early adolescence.
Phyllis Fagell, LLPC, is a licensed clinical professional counselor, a certified professional school counselor, and journalist. She is a frequent contributor to On Parenting from the Washington Post, and she travels the country speaking to other professionals and parents about middle school issues. She has worked in public and private schools with students in grades K-12 and is currently the school counselor at Sheridan School in Washington, DC. Aspen Country Day School is pleased to bring Phyllis to the Roaring Fork Valley to share her practical wisdom for today’s parents. This will be a book talk with time for Q&A. Please join — no matter the age of your children today — and find out how middle school can actually be joyful.
