Parenting Conference

Saturday, October 30th

$20 per couple.

Do you have a son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter who…is absolutely sure that YOU were never his or her age? seems unaware that there is an off switch on all music devices? speaks in shrugs, grunts and other strange sounds? requires more food every day than you consume in a week? has chosen “early landfill” for his or her bedroom décor? can easily program a computer or DVD, but can’t figure out how to operate a washing machine? can remember the words to last year’s hit songs but none that you said five minutes ago? is allergic to chores, homework, getting up in the morning, and sometimes….you? has caused you to turn into your parents?

If so … you are invited to UNDERSTANDING YOUR TEENAGER, a lively, informative presentation of some of the best parenting advice you’ll ever get on raising capable,       emotionally-healthy teenagers. For one night and one night only. This is not an event just for families who are having  difficulty with their kids. Instead, it’s for every parent or   grandparent who wants to stay close to their kids during their teen years and also wants to influence them to become the kind of young men and women God created them to be. Come for some encouragement, some practical ideas, and a chance to interact with others like yourself who care enough about their kids to sharpen their parenting skills.

Our Speaker Duffy Robbins is a veteran youth worker and youth ministry educator. He has authored several best-selling books for youth workers and is a popular speaker at youth ministry training events, youth gatherings and Christian     festivals all over the world. A professor of youth ministry at Eastern College in St. Davids, Pennsylvania, he and his wife Maggie have two grown daughters.
