Join us for the next PTA meeting for a parenting workshop! Our guest speaker, Deb Levine, a leading health educator, will present, “Patient Parenting in Puberty: It Pays Off Later.”
Crazy and even rude behavior from kids in early puberty is normal. It might even be considered a good sign. So, which teen behavior do you have in your house?
- Eye rolling
- Zombie stares
- Crying
- Screaming
- Deaf ears
- Exasperated sighs
- Dismissive grunts
- All of the above!
Of course, you try to be patient because you know good parenting in the middle school years can help your child mature into a healthy, loving adolescent and adult. But where do you draw the line?
Come to the Claremont PTA meeting on Thursday, Nov. 2 at 6:30 p.m. to gain insight into the mind and body of tween and early teen kids from a leading health educator. Deb Levine, founder of an organization focused on teen health and technology, will share her knowledge and experience in a 20-minute presentation for parents. There will be plenty of time for Q&A, too.
