If you are baffled, challenged and concerned about your growing teen, then this talk is for you! Fatherhood expert J. Michael Hall will run through the developmental stages of teens including how to handle the tornadoes and storms along the way. He will also deal with many of the common challenges Dads face raising teens, including teen tantrums, defiance, cyber addiction, stress and anxiety.

​

It’s important that parents (especially Dads) stay connected to their child along this road to adulthood, and Mike will show you how to do that while parenting with boundaries and striking that balance between being your teen’s parent and friend. Don’t miss this chance to learn how to get your teens ready to be successful, independent and well-adjusted adults!

This is the last session in this season of Dads Matter zoom conferences brought to you by the Family Enrichment Society. So, we really hope you can join us LIVE on Friday as Mike opens the floor at the end and answers the teen parenting questions you’ve wanted to ask.
