Join other parents (and those who care for teens) to learn, share, and build relationships. We will use the book The Emotional Lives of Teenagers: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents by Lisa Damour, PhD, as a guide. You are welcome to be a part of the discussion whether or not you have read the book. Simply by being a caregiver of a teen, you have experience and wisdom to share. There will be time in each session to bring a question or issue to brainstorm with the group.
October 8 - Introductions, Emotional Adolescence 101. (Intro and chapter 1 of book)
November 12 - Discuss issues relating to gender/gender identity as well as Friction and Risk taking. (chapters 2 and 3)
December 10 - Managing Emotions (chapters 4 and 5).
Facilitated by Rev. Tiffany McDonald
