Parents of Teens Book Discussion Group

October 8, 2025 6:00pm

Address: Excelsior United Methodist Church, 881 3rd Avenue, Excelsior, MN US 55331

Contact: Tiffany McDonald

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
