In this class you will learn what’s going on in your teen’s head, which will help you figure out why they do the things they do. You’ll learn how to open up the lines of communication, encourage cooperation and responsibility, and discipline effectively. You’ll also explore techniques for solving the inevitable problems that crop up. You’ll learn 10 strategies for preventing problems relating to drugs, alcohol, violence and teen sexuality.

Video, discussion, and activities make for a fast-paced workshop
