Are We Raising Kids to Succeed—or Just to Keep Up?

Between academic pressure, social media and the complicated world of friendships, today's kids are navigating challenges many adults never faced growing up. How can we help them build confidence, connection and a healthy sense of self?

GPS Parent Series welcomes three nationally recognized experts for two timely conversations:

💛 Oct. 13 | Jennifer Breheny Wallace + Dr. Lisa Damour — Explore the “never enough” mentality, achievement pressure and why helping young people feel they matter may be more important than ever.

📱 Oct. 20 | Dr. Katie Hurley — Discover practical ways to help kids navigate online conflict, rumors, social exclusion and the changing face of bullying.

And there's much more ahead! Upcoming GPS programs explore women's well-being, college and career discovery, social anxiety and perfectionism, and selecting and paying for college. A special Spanish-language college admissions program is also scheduled for Oct. 15.
