Attention Parents. 1 more week to register for Parent University. It’s this Saturday November 2nd at Schaghticoke Middle School 9:00am-2:00pm.

Today’s workshop highlight is:

The Teen Toolbox: Building Strong Relationships: Strategies to help you and your teen survive and thrive.

This workshop is for anyone who is engaged in the process of raising, nurturing and educating teens and tweens. The Tool Box offers hands on, easy to understand, practical strategies used by many therapists to help parents, mentors and teachers navigate their relationships with teenagers. Today’s teens live in a very complicated world, and that makes parenting and teaching them more complicated too. Parents, caregivers and teachers need simple ways of doing the day-to-day difficult things. The Tool Box is intended to coach adults who live and work with adolescents, in such a way that the adults survive and the kids thrive. It will allow people to build successful, strong and positive relationships with the adolescents in their lives
