SUMMARY:The Pressure to be Perfect and Its Unintended Consequences
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Alicia Farrell\, Ph.D. \nWe are raising our children in complicated times where performance is valued over character. In such a competitive world\, parents\, educators and leaders are unwittingly passing on to their children pressure to be perfect. In turn\, our children are feeling inadequate\, anxious\, overwhelmed\, stressed\, scared and tired. This talk is designed to address how we arrived at this place and what we can do about it. Here are some questions that will be answered: \n\nWhat does it mean to be perfect and what are the consequences of trying?\nHow do we balance embracing our children’s imperfections with the importance of working hard and doing your best?\nWhat are the benefits of failure and why is it critically important to our children’s development?\nWhat are healthy\, age-appropriate expectations and how do we communicate them without shame and fear?\nHow do boys and girls experience and respond to the pressure to achieve differently?\nWhat is the relationship between the pressure to be perfect and the nationwide increase of anxiety disorders\, addiction\, and suicide in children and adolescence?\n\nIt is time for change. Knowledge is key. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn! \nThis program is appropriate for parents with children of all ages. \n10-11:30 a.m. at Wilton Library (137 Old Ridgefield Road\, Wilton):  The presentation is free to attend\, but registration is recommended either online or by calling 203.762.6334. \n7-8:30 p.m. at Weston Library (56 Norfield Road\, Weston):  The presentation is free to attend\, but online registration is recommended. \nSponsored by:  Wilton Library\, Wilton Youth Council\, Wilton Youth Services\, Weston Youth Services\, and Weston Library

SUMMARY:BIOFEEDBACK:  Emotional Regulation & Stress Management
DESCRIPTION:Licensed clinical psychologist Mary Murphy\, PhD will discuss and demonstrate how biofeedback works. Biofeedback\, a promising treatment for ADHD\, anxiety and stress\, allows a person to learn how to monitor and change his or her body’s reaction to stressors. \nUsing a computer or smartphone\, biofeedback software allows you to monitor your biological responses\, such as breathing rates\, muscle activity\, and heart rate. The therapy process teaches you to notice changes in your body and ways to intervene to stop the body’s reactions that cause you to feel stress. It allows you to process information more efficiently\, to improve focus\, and to interrupt the process of fight-flight-freeze\, which causes distress to so many. \nOne of the most important benefits of Biofeedback is that it can be learned relatively quickly\, while working with a trained provider\, and has the goal of transitioning to independent use. \nDuring our demonstration\, Dr. Murphy will display sample biofeedback software (HeartMath) and show participants how to use common biofeedback apps at home. \nDr. Murphy is in private practice\, in Ridgefield\, CT\, at Insight Counseling\, where she specializes in counseling\, executive function/academic coaching\, psychological testing\, and biofeedback. Her counseling practice focuses on helping adolescents and adults affected by mood disorders\, neurological conditions\, and substance use. Dr Murphy completed advanced fellowship training at the Yale School of Medicine. She is currently a professor of psychology at WestConn. \nPlease Register: info@spednetwilton.org \nQuestions/Comments: info@spednetwilton.org

SUMMARY:Statues\, Boulders\, and Monoliths:  The World War One Memorials of Connecticut Illustrated Talk by Richard Donohue
DESCRIPTION:As the First World War ended\, American communities such as Wilton hurried to memorialize the great efforts of their sons and daughters. Changes in cultural and civic ideals since the American Civil War led to extensive public discourse about what memorials should and should not be. Government leaders\, artists\, historians\, and the monument industry itself promoted ideas from simple tablets to monoliths rivaling those of Egypt and Rome. Memorials throughout Connecticut exemplify this entire range of monumental styles. \nHistorian Richard Donohue will be presenting an illustrated talk on the World War I Monuments of Connecticut at the Wilton Historical Society. He will share stories of their design\, placement\, and the people memorialized on them. Special attention will be given to the many in Wilton. This illustrated program lasts for approximately one hour\, with questions\, and includes images of memorials throughout the 169 towns of Connecticut\, accompanied by musical recordings of the period. A light lunch is included. \nThis program is presented as part of the exhibition\, “Bullets\, Bonds and Butter:  Wilton Responds to War\,” which will be on display in the Burt Barn Gallery from March 15-May 11\, 2019. \nDonohue is the town historian of his hometown of Cromwell\, CT. His original research has formed the basis of museum exhibits\, travelling lectures\, and living history programs on topics ranging from 18th-century slavery to Civil War-era subscription balls to early 20th-century marine engines. As president and program director of the Cromwell Historical Society for nearly 15 years and a teacher in both public and private schools for 25 years\, he strives to enhance his town’s interest and participation in local and national history. In addition to his work with history\, Donohue is a tenor soloist specializing in Middle English carols\, Bach arias\, and German Lieder and is the director of the 1876 Singing Society at Mystic Seaport. \nWilton Historical Society members attend for free; the cost for non-members is $10 per person. Please register for World War I Memorials of Connecticut via email or by calling 203.762.7257.
