Surviving Adolescence

What’s REALLY Going on with Your Kids?

  • Do you ask yourself any of these questions?
  • Is Jane getting physical with her new boyfriend?
  • Is Jack experimenting with drugs or alcohol?
  • Why has Jamal’s confidence suddenly dropped?
  • Is Ricky feeling too much pressure in his advanced classes?
  • Vanessa is spending all her time texting and on Facebook. Should I be worried?
  • Why doesn’t my child talk to me anymore?

If so, “Surviving Adolescence: What’s REALLY Going on with Your Kids?” is for you.

In this four-part tele-seminar course, Shannon White, M.Div., journalist, and author of How Was School Today? Fine., interviews four of the nation’s leading experts on adolescent issues about questions you may have about what’s really going on in the lives of your kids.

Dr. Joel Haber, an expert in the field of bullying, talks about the “digital divide” between parents and adolescents that creates an open door for cyber-bullying to occur:

“Kids, without really understanding the parameters of technology, take risks that can be really problematic because they don’t understand the potential consequences.”

Dr. Harris Stratyner, a national expert in the field of adolescent addictions: “They model; they’re curious, they want to be sophisticated and want to catch a buzz. They’re always looking for that thrill . . . that feeling that they’re in an altered state of consciousness and they want to feel more relaxed and have a social lubricant.”

Tom Mahoney is an expert in the field of adolescent and teen sexuality. “In 2009, 46% of high school students had sexual intercourse . . . ” Mahoney says, “It’s important for parents to be informed. It’s important for kids to have access to information that is accurate and it’s important for kids to have a healthy sense of who they are.”

Dr. Sharon Scully, is the former Director of Admissions at Columbia University and now consults families in the college search process. Scully says, “It’s become confusing even for parents who were well educated, because the whole admission process is different from what it was when they went to school.”
