Mindful Parenting: Navigating the Precarious Road Through Middle and High School Years

Dr. John Walker, LMFT

Adolescence can be a challenging and humbling time and most of us don't even have a roadmap to follow! Sometimes teens tune us out because autopilot parenting (parenting how we were parented) is outdated, and they face challenges we never had to on top of the ones we remember so painfully. We need a roadmap to help them maneuver cyber bullying, sexual predators, and intense pressure to engage in sexual activity and drug use.

In this presentation Dr. John Walker, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, will share a step-by-step roadmap he has developed over  the past 25 years of working with hundreds of families. His guidelines help parents manage button pushing and limit setting and regain or maintain nurturing relationships; helping your teen want to seek you out for guidance during what many consider the most difficult and dangerous time of life.
