Virtual FACT Workshop: Brain Development in Children & Teens – Jan 23
Posted by School District of Philadelphia Office of Family and Community Engagement on January 2, 2024
Family Academy: Courses and Training (FACT) offers FREE in-person and virtual workshops for families and School District of Philadelphia community members. Our workshops support personal growth, student success, and greater connections within our school communities and city.
This workshop talks about brain development in both infants and teens and how parents and the environment help shape its development. It focuses on the 5 major areas of the brain and what they control. It then goes into more depth to focus on the teenage brain and how it is still forming and growing and this affects decision making. It talks about where teenagers are emotionally based on their brain development and how we can support them by providing structure and guidance. The topic also touches on violence and stress and the effects that these have on brain development. A 3 minute Utube video is shared to help explain the topic.
Date and time: Tuesday, January 23, 2024, 10:00 AM or 5:00 PM
