"Oh My Gosh!  My Child's a Teenager!" Presentation

The latest 'YOU NEED TO KNOW' EVENT is being held on May 4, 2010 at  Fletcher's Meadow Secondary School, 10750 Chinguacousy Road (just north of Sandalwood and Chinguacousy)  7:00 to 8:30PM

This presentation looks at understanding the changes and development which occur during the teenage years. Participants will remember their own teen years, understand the stages that all teens experience, and become more aware of the normal behaviours of a teenager. Bill will also discuss some of the signs of potential trouble, youth at risk and how parents can encourage health and well-being in their families.

This event is open to all parents and guardians in the Brampton Northwest community with children attending any public or Catholic elementary, middle or secondary school.
