Location: Marshall School
262 Grove Rd, South Orange, NJ
When: January 25, 2011
Time: 7:30pm

We live with the conventional wisdom that so called "sibling rivalries" are normal. But what is "normal" and when does sibling conflict step over the line and become a problem?

At this workshop we will be exploring:

  • How sibling conflicts arise
  • How family history and adult partners may contribute to sibling conflicts
  • What kinds of adult guidance are most effective
  • How family expectations, rules, roles and routines can help siblings overcome difficulties


This workshop will be lead by Lewis Epstein, LCSW. He is the author of a number of parenting books including, Coaching For Fatherhood. He is in private practice in South Orange, NJ and has lead numerous highly successful parenting workshops.

Presented by The Parenting Center & The Elementary School PTAs.

“From Procrastination to Payday—Breaking Through the Overwhelm”

The life of someone transitioning between positions can be a bit unsettling. It can be hard to get clear about what you want, need or even the next step to take.  Procrastination can leave you feeling overwhelmed and have a huge impact on your feelings of confidence and self esteem.  When you’re not feeling confident in yourself neither will potential employers or clients…

During this highly interactive presentation we will discuss:

* Specific ways to identify the most important project for you to focus on

* The key to calming the overwhelm so that you can move forward and achieve your most important projects

* The biggest mistake that prevents you from moving forward

Are you procrastinating because you're overwhelmed with all of the options?  Join us and get yourself moving!

Presenter Carrie Greene, AAC, of CarrieThru Coaching Services has 15 years of experience on Wall St.  Carrie helps clients to create systems and structures that enable them to prioritize, focus and follow through to better monetize their business and create the life they want.

Free and open to the public.
