Parenting Teens with Love & Logic
SPC will be offering this highly acclaimed Parenting series Sunday afternoons on January 12th, 26th, and February 9th from 3:30 to 5pm in Fellowship Hall.
Sheila Hynes, a Marriage and Family Therapist, will lead us in Parenting Teens with Love & Logic. She is a certified instructor in Love & Logic that will be presenting a three session series to our families and the surrounding community. In today’s world, teenagers face a huge number of choices and opportunities. Love & Logic techniques help you tackle tough subjects and teach responsible decision making. This is essential in helping our teens grown into successful and healthy young adults. Love and Logic will help parents get out of the power struggle mode, and into the consultant seat as teens figure out how to make good choices. This program could help grandparents and parents with children who are preteens too!
The total cost for the series will be $20 a person or $30 for a couple. Registration is open – Click here to register.
