Yesterday, your child was a sweet, well-adjusted kid. Today, a moody, disrespectful tween/teen. What happened? And, more important, how do you handle it?

Based on Julie Ross' bestselling book "How To Hug a Porcupine: Negotiating the Prickly Points of the Tween Years", this workshop will prove that it's possible to hug a porcupine, if you know how!

This six week workshop offers practical and proven techniques that will allow you to hug even the prickliest porcupine:

• Help your child navigate screen time

• Break the "nagging cycle," give your kids the right balance of responsibilities, and get results

• Talk about sex, drugs, and alcohol so your kid will listen.
• Find out how other parents survived the nightmarish tween and teen years -- and still raised great kids.
• Discover the techniques that will help your child disregard peer pressure and make smart choices -- for life.
