Author of: "Parenting Is a Contact Sport: 8 Ways to Stay Connected to Your Kids for Life"

Dads and Moms, your children are digital kids growing up in a digital world. It's time to get off the sidelines and jump into the game because parenting is a contact sport. That means your kids need YOU more than ever before:

· To support them through fierce peer pressure

· To affirm them in the midst of bullying and cyberbullying

· To guide them through the maze of appropriate and safe use of technology

· To help them make good choices about drugs, alcohol and sex

· To teach them healthy values that will help grow up to be emotionally and socially balanced young adults

In this 30 minute talk, Dr Joanne Stern will explain some of the issues your kids face and the unique things only you can do as their dad or mom. She will show you how your involvement in your kids' lives builds a strong relationship that will benefit them, will help your marriage and will even improve your skills at work.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to create a connection with your kids that will last a lifetime. It's the greatest gift you can give them.
