REACHING YOUR TEENAGER(S): IMPROVING COMMUNICATION!

by Barbara Falk

February 19th 10:00am–12:00pm

Good communication is like a two-way street; it involves your learning what matters to your teen and your teen’s learning what matters to you.

Although communicating with teens is sometimes a daunting task, it is not impossible.

Come to a talk about communicating with teens designed especially for mothers of teens, “tweens” and pre-teens. It will help you enhance the well-being of your family by deepening your relationship with your teens through more effective communication.

Ms. Falk lectures throughout the country, encouraging parents to take an active leadership role in the home in order to teach their children the virtues within the natural setting of family life. She offers advice to parents on a wide array of challenges impacting families today. Coming from a large family of extroverts, she has solutions that are practical, humorous and grounded in common sense.

The Infant Jesus of St. Josemaría

As a young priest, St. Josemaría was especially fond of a small statue of the Infant Jesus. He would hold the Child in his arms, sing and even dance with it. “I’m glad to see you as a small Child,” he would say, “because it makes me feel that you need me.” To view Video page (02’ 12”) click here.
