Navigating Your Child's Friendships with Michelle Icard

We’re thrilled to partner with Michelle Icard to get her expertise on a topic important to moms of kids of all ages: Navigating Your Child’s Friendships: When to Step In, When to Step Out, What to Say.

Michelle is a speaker, author, and educator who helps kids, parents, and teachers navigate the complicated social world of early adolescence. Her latest book, Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen guides readers through the fourteen essential conversations parents need to have with their kids before they start high school. Her first book, Middle School Makeover: Improving the Way You and Your Child Experience the Middle School Years, is a primer for the social and emotional changes parents and kids navigate when mid-life meets middle school under one roof.

She is a member of the TODAY Show parenting team and NBC News Learn. Her work has been featured in The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, CNN, Time, and People Magazine. Her middle school leadership programs, Athena’s Path & Hero’s Pursuit, have been implemented at schools across the country and she speaks around the globe at schools and parenting events.

We hope you’ll join us for a fun and informative morning with Michelle and other Charlotte moms!
