CMS-PTO Talk (Parent Education)
Stress and 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 (Parent Education)
Suicide Awareness and Prevention
Wednesday, February 12, 2020 from 6:30-8:00pm in the CMS Library
 

Did you know that suicide is the second leading cause of death of children ages 10-14? Did you know that one in five California high schoolers have considered suicide? Did you notice the suicide hotline phone number on the back of your student’s ID card?

Youth death by suicide happens in our area. It’s not only the overly sad, depressed students who contemplate suicide. Students who are bullied, who feel that they can’t please their parents, or who struggle in class may contemplate suicide. Students who are high-achieving academics or top-tier athletes also consider it.

Dr. Mark Reinecke, Clinical Director of the Child Mind Institute, San Mateo, will speak about warning signs, what steps to take, and how to talk to your child about suicide. Even if you believe that your child would never attempt suicide, you should come to this CMS-PTO Talk. Learn how to have an open dialogue with your child about this issue. Get advice on what your child should do if they hear a friend threatening suicide. Our whole community needs to be educated about this critical topic.
