The Center for Work, Family and Personal Life is pleased to announce 
our upcoming seminar entitled When Kids Are Mean to Each Other, led 
by Deborah Weinstock-Savoy, Parenting Education Consultant.

"You stink!"  "You're not my friend anymore!"  "You can't sit here." 
Teasing, excluding, name calling, bullying:  The ups and downs of 
peer relationship are often painful for our children (and us), but 
they also provide crucial opportunities for learning and growth. This 
workshop will offer a developmental understanding of social 
relationships from preschool through elementary school. We will focus 
on how to help children with peer issues, whether they are the 
victim, the bystander, or the perpetrator--remembering that many of 
our children will be all of these at different times in their school 
career.

This seminar will be held on Tuesday, October 25, 2005, from 12:00 PM 
to 1:30 PM in the Center conference room, Room 16-151. The seminar is 
open to all members of the MIT community, free of charge.

Registration is required. You can register on the web at
