The [Good Enough] Parent in the 21st Century

Parents and grandparents:  You are invited to attend a conference on Sunday, March 20, 2011, from noon to 2:00 p.m., at the Church.  Though the event is free, it's important to register in advance (see below).

The conference, titled The [Good Enough] Parent in the 21st Century, is intended to inspire and empower parents of kids ages 2 through 15.  Childcare and lunch will be available (the children's program will cost $5 and will include lunch, activities and special guests; the lunch for attendees will cost $5, and the proceeds will benefit Lakota Youth and the Church's Youth Action Committee).

The keynote speaker will be Jonathan Kleinman, a social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in adolescent and family therapy.  Read more about him at: http://rivertowns.patch.com/articles/building-alliances-with-teenagers-p...

Four special workshops will be held:
