Riding the Waves of the Teen Years
The emotional and social changes of adolescence can be amazing and difficult to understand for both parent and teen. Much confusion and tension can be lessened when parents are clearer about why their teen acts as he/she does. Learn about
your child’s development, and how you can meet both your child’s and your needs during this stressful life stage while still maintaining a healthy relationship with your teenager. Also considered in this workshop are the issues of the media, substance abuse and sexuality and how you can address these with your teen.
For parents of children ages 10-16.

Truths About Consequences
Consequences can be a very effective discipline tool to use, but it is often
difficult to come up with the “right” one that will fit the situation. In this
workshop, you will learn how to use consequences to teach your children
what they need to learn when you discipline them and how to decide what
the consequence should be.
