Reminder: ParenTeen Transitions Meeting - Teens & Screens - Jan. 9, 9am

ParenTeen Transitions is an informal parent gathering centered around developmental/life stage topics of adolescent teens.  This is a parent exchange where we can share our own personal knowledge, experiences and resources.  Some speakers and “experts” may be asked to come to present on a certain topic if the group chooses. The focus is on sharing information and supporting one another.
