 Boot
Camp for Parents of Teens:
Attention! Are you preparing to battle your
adolescent through their teenage years? If so, then cease fire.
Do an “about face” and “fall in” for this training for parents of
6th-12th graders. Wouldn’t you rather be “at ease” with teen?
Parents
learn strategies they can use as their child moves through
adolescence to become an adult.

Raising teenagers can be a frightening and
challenging experience for parents. It can also be rewarding and
fun. The Family Life Council provides the Active Parenting of
Teens series to help parents get the cooperation and respect
from their teens that can make family life more enjoyable and
less stressful. Active Parenting of Teens is a highly
successful, video-based parent education program for parents of
12-18 year olds. Parents of teens who attend this 5-week series
report improved communication and more responsible and
cooperative teens.

to keep the dialogue going.

Ponder this...
“The less parents talk to their kids about
sex, the more likely the media is to “serve as a kind of sexual
super peer that doesn’t have the best interests of young people in
mind. The media tends to glamorize sex while leaving out the
crucial three C’s: commitment, contraceptives, and consequences.”
