FREE SEMINAR
Developing Self Esteem in Children by Dr. Jeri Quirk, Ph.D.
Wednesday, July 14th (event flyer)
Tuesday, August 3rd
(event flyer)
7-8:30pm
Monmouth County Library, Eastern Branch
Rte. 35, Shrewsbury, NJ 07702
Description:
Everyone agrees that they would like to see their children exude self
esteem and feel loving, caring, competent and happy. The question is
how to get all children to that point. This talk examines the beliefs that
undermine our goal and the beliefs that support exactly what we want
for all children.
Dr. Jeri Quirk is a psychotherapist and an educator with over 20
years experience working with children, teens and families. She is a
co-founder of the new Jersey Shore Free School.
Parents, grandparents, teachers, child advocates everyone is welcome and could benefit from this discussion.
