Speaker event: Navigating Agency, Big Feelings, and Resilience with Your Middle Schooler

Join Fay School on Wednesday, February 11, at 7:00 PM for a presentation by Maria Trozzi as part of our Ideas&Insights Speaker Series. Through a blend of humor, wisdom, and pathos, Maria’s presentation offers a roadmap for parents and guardians navigating their pivotal role in a middle schooler’s development. Her presentation provides reliable strategies to help children manage big feelings, develop agency, and problem-solve during this period of great change. Beyond practical tools, Maria explores the deeper nuances of parenting: when to push and when to step back, how to redefine expectations, and how the “ghosts of our own nursery” inform the dreams and disappointments we hold for our children.
