About this event

Are you navigating the rewarding, yet sometimes challenging, world of raising a teen or tween? Do you wonder how to maintain a strong relationship with your child through the adolescent years, or are you looking for practical ways to improve it now?

Join us for an exclusive, highly-interactive Q&A with renowned child and adolescent psychiatrist, Dr. Jane Aronson, moderated by PSP Founder Susan Fox and Mandi White-Ajmani, Founder of Small Brooklyn Psychology.

Dr. Aronson will provide guidance on your most pressing questions, including how to:

Guide teens to make decisions they feel good about and that we like too
Keep communication open between teens and parents
Help kids gain inner confidence, independence, and a sense of purpose
Manage screen time
Cultivate motivation for healthy habits and self-care in a teenager
Foster supportive relationships with our tweens and teens

We'll also talk about issues specific to single parents and divorced parents:

How divorce and separation affects parenting of young adults
How do parents figure out how to be collaborative and have one voice when you are separated?

It gets overlooked at times, but teens are FUN! We will talk about that too!

There also will be time for YOUR questions--you can send them with your registration or ask them during the discussion. To create a safe space for open dialogue, the discussion will not be recorded.

When: Thursday, May 14th, 7:00pm - 8:30pm
