The Carlmont High School PTSA is sponsoring an interesting (and free) Parent Education Event at the Calmont Performing Arts Center on Monday, May 24th from 7-9pm.
Michael Riera will be speaking on “Connecting to Your Teen” — a big topic to be sure, and covering a lot of areas including:
- Why teenagers do what they do and why they can’t/won’t explain it to you
- How to influence your teen in the areas of their life that matter most
- How to have the Big Talks: Drugs, Alcohol, Sex, Money, Internet
- Why it’s more important to be their parent rather than their friend
…and a number of related topics…
Mike Riera is one of the country’s foremost authorities on understanding children and teenagers. He’s authored several books: Staying Connected To Your Teenager, Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers (featured on Oprah), Surviving High School, Field Guide to the American Teenager, and Right From Wrong. Download the flier here for more information. I’m sure it will be quite interesting!
