Teen Parenting - PTSA Speaker January 13 at 7 pm - Media Center


The next SWHS PTSA Speaker Series event is January 13, at 7 pm in the Media Center!

Denise Williams from the Bridge for Youth will be addressing the topic of:   Make Good Choices: Respectful Guidance & Engagement on topics of Substance Use, Sexuality, & Impulse Control.
 
Parenting adolescents can be an incredible experience. The pleasure of co-starring in one of the most memorable periods of their lives can bring about a sense of purpose and pride as well as be intimidating and cause one to feel like an innocent bystander.
 
While there is no handbook for parenting, there are some strategies that can be used to maintain the parent-child relationship during this fragile time as well as enable a parent to use their own experiences to demonstrate real life consequences of decisions.
 
Please join us for an open dialogue about the up’s and down’s of parenting a teen and how both parties can come out closer and stronger than ever!
