Teens and Tweens: Discipline & Guidance

We warmly invite you to join our Parent Association on Friday, April 10, 8:30–10 a.m., in the Eurythmy Room on our Pine Hill campus for a special event with Kim John Payne award-winning educator and author of Simplicity Parenting.

This is a wide-ranging topic that introduces many issues that challenge the modern-day tweenager, teenager, parent, and teacher. This lecture discusses the issues affecting young people between the ages of 10 and 18, and discusses the workable strategies for navigating what is one of the most difficult periods for parents, teachers, and teenagers alike. Topics include the phases of adolescence and how these may be expressed and anticipated; the similarities and the differing needs of boys and girls; an overview of addictive tendencies and how to meet them in creative ways; and the defining the roles played within peer groups. 

Kim John Payne, M.ED., has been a counselor, educator, consultant, and researcher for over 30 years and is the author of several acclaimed books, including Simplicity Parenting, The Soul of Discipline, and Being at Your Best When Your Kids Are at Their Worst. Kim strives to deepen understanding and give practical tools for life that arise out of the burning social issues of our time.
