Raising Teens: A Youth Perspective. Youth Panel with Special Guests Feb 26th

Raising a teen can be uncharted territory for many of us. We often ask ourselves: “Is this normal?” When do I need to draw boundaries, and when do I need to allow for independence? Dating, parties, on-line behavior, what is making our teens vulnerable and when do we step in as parents? Do we need help? If so, what kind of help would we need?” Join us for this innovative and unique event designed for parents to ask their burning questions to a panel of teens and experts. Parents will have an opportunity to ask questions anonymously, hear about normative teen development from a local expert, and have a tour of the city’s innovative Youth Centre. We’re all in this together, let’s work together to look for answers to those tough questions! The night will conclude with a tour of the New Westminster Youth Centre.
