Parents in Bournemouth will get the inside track on how to get their child – and them – through the teenage years.
Family Expert Rob Parsons, from Christian charity Care for the Family, will be at The Bishop of Winchester School, Mallard Road, Bournemouth, on Tuesday to present Teenagers! What Every Parent Has to Know.
Rob says: “Today’s teenagers are experiencing things that previous generations didn’t – like the growth of technology, an expanding debt culture, the incredible pressure to be thin if you are a girl or muscular if you are a boy.
“These days it isn’t enough to be an ace footballer – you have to be a good-looking ace footballer!
“All these pressures make life much harder for teens and their parents.”
Teenagers! What Every Parent Has to know will include understanding what goes on in your teenager’s brain and dealing with big issues such as sex, drugs and self-esteem.
