* Stress & Anxiety in Tweens and Teens
(Wednesday, January 29, 2020 from 6:30-8:00pm in the CMS Library)
Anxiety is the most common emotional problem in children. Students can experience test anxiety and social anxiety, as well as other types. Anxiety can present itself as nervousness, but can also include things such as a stomach ache, inattentiveness, aggression, or disruptive behavior.
Join us as Dr. Mark Reinecke, Clinical Director of the Child Mind Institute, San Mateo, speaks about stress and anxiety in tweens and teens. He will discuss symptoms of such concerns and present some helpful tips about how you can identify and help your child manage their stress and anxiety.

CMS-PTO Talk: Executive Function
Executive Functioning: What, Why, and How
Does your child struggle with: -Organization -Time Management -Learning skills?
Welcome to middle school! Executive Functioning (EF) involves a critical set of capacities governed by the prefrontal cortex, the last part of the brain to develop, and students who have EF difficulties are the norm, not the exception. Join us as we host Ali Zidel Meyers, of Meyers Learning Center, for a dynamic presentation on Executive Functioning Skills. Ali will address the “what’s, why’s, and how’s” of these significant life skills. She’ll also provide practical tools and resources that parents can utilize to support their children’s emerging EF capacities and growth.

Where: Cupertino Middle School library When: Tuesday, September 17th from 6:30-8:00pm.
