Do you ever have difficulty talking to your teen? Simple comments escalate into unforeseen arguments? Or perhaps you feel shut out, that your child no longer confides in you? Please join us for an evening with Susan Stone Belton, BSE, who will present a workshop designed to give parents effective strategies for communicating with their teens. Get tips on how to keep the doors to communication wide open, how best to talk (and listen) to your teen, how to keep those channels healthy and strong.

This workshop is presented in collaboration with The Parents Place. Ms. Belton is a certified Special Education Teacher with over 40 years experience working with children and families. She has taught teenagers with emotional and behavioral problems, managed crisis hotlines for parents and teens, and is a proud mother herself. Sponsored by the PTSA
