testimonials
"Larry
taught a wonderful class for our staff called Not Just Child's
Play. Larry's ideas and strategies about playing and connecting
were fresh and immediately useful, even for our highly
experienced staff, but accessible to newer teachers as well.
Reluctant to lose his expertise once the class ended, I have
asked Larry to provide ongoing supervision for me and my staff.
We feel lucky to have direct access to a psychologist who
understands so much about young people and the challenges of
caring for them. I handed out an excerpt from Larry's book to
the parents of all the children in my program. They appreciated
the excerpt for its combination of thoughtfulness about children
and a lighthearted approach."
"At the
John
Pierce School, in Brookline, MA, we embarked on a no-bullying
policy. This school-wide effort required the support, skills and
education of teachers, parents and children. To provide support
at the parent level, we invited Dr. Lawrence Cohen to speak
about his book, Mom, They're Teasing Me: Helping Your Child
Solve Social Problems. Dr. Cohen led an insightful, humorous,
sensitive and poignant discussion at our elementary school.
Parents were inspired and empowered, at times relieved and often
humored and touched by Dr. Cohen's relaxed ease and sensitivity,
his acute awareness of both child and parent behavior and his
practical and simple, but inspired solutions to parenting
challenges. We were privileged to have Dr. Cohen share his
insight and expertise with us. Our thanks go out to him and we
hope he'll be back next year!"
