Talking With Your Teen Doesn’t Have to Be a Headache! By Devra Renner, Co-Author of Mommy Guilt: Learn to Worry Less, Focus on what Matters Most, & Raise Happier Kids and the website Parentopia (and one of the funniest, most down-to-earth and fabulous speakers I’ve ever heard)

Devra Renner knows kids, knows parents and knows communication. And she’s combining all her talents in a crash course on communicating with teens the old fashioned way: engaging them in conversation. She’ll also show you how your teen is using the latest technologies and social media – the good, the bad and the ugly (well, the ugly part is how addicted you may become to social media yourself.)
7-9 pm at The Women’s Center, 127 Park St. NE, Vienna, VA

Honey, I Wrecked the Kids!- A Parenting Encouragement Program (PEP) Author Talk
By Alyson Schafer, psychotherapist, host of Canada’s The Parenting Show and one of Canada’s leading parenting experts.

(Check out the full title of her book: Honey I Wrecked the Kids!: When Yelling, Screaming, Threats, Bribes, Time-Outs, Sticker Charts and Removing Privileges All Don’t Work – does she have a hidden camera in my house?)

For parents of children ages 2 – 12 that are baffled by this new generation of seemingly “discipline-resistant” children. Schafer will discuss new ways to parent, a new model for understanding misbehavior, winning cooperation and raising children who are decidedly not wrecked.

7:30-9:30pm at The Bullis School, 10601 Falls Road, Potomac, MD
$25/person; $45/couple, PEP Members: $22/person; $40/couple
