Friends of Girls in Motion

For those of you who haven't heard we are starting a "Friends of Girls in Motion" group. This group will meet quarterly, and hear interesting speakers relating to adolescent issues. Our first speaker, is Dr. Cathey Soutter on March 25th at noon. Check our our website at www.girlsinmotion.org for more information and how to join. She will discuss helping our preteens navigate relationships. While there has been much published about bullying, there doesn't seem to be many resources for parents in helping our children form and maintain healthy relationships, both friendships and romantic relationships. Not one day goes by that I do not hear from a parent about the difficulty their son or daughter is having with a friendship.This preteen time can be challenging to friendships as kids this age change at such different rates. Parents of both boys and girls will benefit from Dr. Soutter's insight. I have heard her talk to many groups about relationships. Not only will you find it beneficial for helping your child, but you may also learn something about yourself that will improve your own relationships!
