Parents and caregivers can learn how to help children in today’s world cope with the stresses that arise in life during a presentation by Dr. David R. Marks at the Darien YMCA on Tuesday, April 1, at 9:30 a.m.
Dr. Marks, a resident of Weston, is author of the book, “Raising Stable Kids in an Unstable World: A Physician’s Guide to Dealing with Childhood Stress.” According to Dr. Marks, “In today’s world, children experience peer pressure, an overload of organized activities, excessive pressure to succeed and ongoing exposure to violence. These stresses, he explained, can lead to physical and emotional problems.” In his book, Dr. Marks provides practical advice to help parents ease the stress on their children.
During his presentation at the Darien YMCA, Dr. Marks will provide some of the advice he offers in his book, which results from his experience as a physician and father of three children.
