Reminder for Parents of Teens: Book Club Starts this Friday!

The ParenTeen Transitions (PTT) group will be kicking off their monthly Book Club / support group this Friday (11/18).  It will run from 7pm to 10pm.  The group will meet at a GRS parent's home in Saint Paul -- about 3-4 miles from GRS. 

The group is intended to act like a ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) support and discussion group for families with teens.   

The group will be covering the first couple of chapters in "How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen so Teens Will Talk" by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish. One GRS parent reported at our last A2 social that this book transformed her relationship with her kids.  

This is a no-pressure, casual book club! Feel free to read or skim or just show up and catch the Cliff Notes version. We'll have copies of some of the communication exercises the book recommends. 

PLUS: Bring your teen and they can hang out with other teens and have a book club of their own. Book/activity TBD by the group.

Email Jeffrey Swanson (jeffrey.x.swanson@gmail) or Andrea Erickson (fiddlesticksandfishfur@gmail.com) if interested in attending and they will send you the address. Hope to see many of you there!
