Oakton Hosts 'Overindulged Child' Workshop
Psychotherapists and other health care professionals are invited to attend "The Overindulged Child: Using Science and Cultural Research in Therapy for Children and Families," 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 30, at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines. The daylong workshop is sponsored by Oakton's Alliance for Lifelong Learning and MaineStay Youth and Family Services in Park Ridge.
Featured speaker Margaret Wehrenberg, Psy.D., is a nationally recognized expert on the treatment of anxiety and depression, with extensive training and expertise in the neurobiology of psychological disorders. Topics include "The Exhausted Child," on the impact of over-scheduling children; "Children as Consumers"; "Creating Creative Children"; and more.
Current studies suggest that the different ways in which parents indulge their children may create the opposite of the desired result. Overindulged children may suffer in interpersonal relationships, social confidence, and the ability to function in school and work.
Registration fee of $75 includes lunch, educational materials, and Continuing Education Credits (6.5 clock hours) for social workers, counselors, marriage and family therapists, teachers, and other professionals (7.5 contact hours for registered nurses).
