Never Enough - A Talk with Jennifer Wallace
Wednesday, October 30 @ 1 Mangini Way, Burlingame
9-10am at BHS Theater
The Burlingame Council of PTAs and the Burlingame School District have been given an amazing opportunity to bring New York Times Bestselling author Jennifer Wallace to our community for a talk with families about the pressure our students face to succeed. The drive to optimize performance has resulted in skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and self-harm in teens and adolescents. Parents, educators, and community leaders face the same quandary: how can we teach our kids to strive towards excellence without crushing them?
In this eye-opening talk moderated by Superintendent Marla Silversmith, Wallace will investigate the deep roots of toxic achievement culture, explore its harmful impact on our kids, and deliver the powerful solution: mattering, the psychological concept of feeling like you add value and are valued regardless of your external achievements. Wallace provides a practical mattering framework that parents and educators can use to tackle achievement pressure at home and in the classroom.
Please join us! This event is free and open to all members of the BSD and BHS community!
