Every family has its problems….some are worse than others, and yet no family is completely problem-free. But do you ever wonder if you are the only family dealing with a particularly challenging teen? Do you wonder if the problems you are facing with your child are affecting the rest of your family? Or if problems between you and your spouse are having an impact on your kids? Do you ever feel that yours is the only family going through these difficulties? Would you like to know that there are others who are facing similar issues with whom you could identify? Better yet, would you like to explore solutions and find a way to create a healthy and whole family?

That is exactly what you can do at our next Sammamish Plateau Parent Networking Meeting! Family Coach and expert facilitator, Bill Dean, has joined our ranks to tailor each of our meetings to address the needs of those who attend. Bill is offering a personalized workshop for parents every month! It is open to anyone who wants to join us…and it’s free!!

Can you honestly say you know for sure? And do you fully understand the extent of the legal consequences-to them and to you of their exposure to alcohol, drugs, and teenage driving? Today’s teen is bombarded with trends and pressures that can lead to drug addictions, suicide, eating disorders, cutting, and many more risky behaviors. Skyline PTSA has teamed with their school’s police officer, a local attorney plus drug and mental health counselors for this important panel discussion. Middle school parents are encouraged to attend too. This panel discussion is based on the booklet, “Parents, Teens and the law” available at www.Issaquah.wednet.edu.
