“GPS (Guiding Your Parenting Skills) Workshop”
The Community Alliance for Youth (CAFY) is pleased to announce that it is sponsoring the “GPS (Guiding Your Parenting Skills)” program for parents of 6th - 9th graders, which will be held on Wednesday, May 23rd, and Wednesday, May 30th, between 7 pm and 9 pm, in the R J Grey Junior High library.
The program is designed to be interactive, experiential and fun. So, put your seatbelts on and be prepared to take a trip that will give you concrete tools to change the way you communicate with your teen. This two part series will help you review and learn what’s changed for adolescents, how much influence their peers have over their decisions, why risks are important to your teen’s development, and what risks adolescents in Acton-Boxborough are taking. At the end of your journey you will have a map that contains three simple rules for you to use in parenting your teen(s) which will help “Promote Teen Health & Reduce Risky Behavior"
This program will be conducted by Ms. Kathy Bowen. Kathy is an accomplished professional educator and entrepreneur, whose expertise garnered from over 25 years of coaching parents, teachers and children, has led her to become a sought-after parenting/families coach. She has conducted two Guiding Good Choices workshops for CAFY in the past; and she received “extremely positive” ratings by the participants.
The program will be limited to 20 participants. The registration fee is $25. To register, contact Bob McGowan, Chair of the CAFY Board, either at rmcgo...@aol.com or 978-930-1947. Please make out your check to CAFY; and mail it to: CAFY, PO Box 2063, Acton, MA 01720.
