So you and your teen will be motivated, focused, and on speaking terms throughout the stress and strain of the last year of high school.

For Parents of Senior High School Students

You've almost made it.  Your child has passed every developmental milestone so far.  The next step is big. Can you get them to move out of the house, learn to do their own laundry, and develop a viable livelihood?  How can you look ahead to that next step when you wonder if you and your child can survive the high-school senior year? The workshop will help you parent with the tough task of promoting independence in your senior while staying emotionally connected.

Many parents are in a tug-of-war with their senior high school student, worrying if their son or daughter will finish the college applications in time.  Learn how to offer support and guidance without taking over the process.  Find out ways to make this a collaborative process.  After all, if your child does not feel part of the decision-making process, he or she may not feel an ownership or responsibility for college education.  Also, learn how to help your over-anxious child relax and enjoy his or her last year home.  Alternately, develop strategies to motivate your laid-back child and emphasize the importance of taking his or her education to the next level. This parenting workshop will help you know when to step in and when to step back.  And most of all, this program will help you discover how to survive and thrive the SENIOR YEAR AND BEYOND.
