Glenbard Parent Series to focus on parent-teen communication
The Glenbard Parent Series: Navigating Healthy Families will present "Congratulations, You're Having a Teen! The Guidebook You've Always Wanted" with author Dr. Ken Ginsburg in two, two-hour seminars at noon and 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9, via Zoom.
A renowned parent and teen communication expert, Ginsburg returns to GPS to inform and inspire caregivers as they enter one of the most exciting and important phases of parenting. The teen years are a time of opportunity to strengthen the parent-child relationship and guide children toward a flourishing adulthood.
Ginsburg will explain how adults can be an unwavering and loving presence who understand, support and celebrate their teens. His strength-based, resilience building model will also provide adolescents with the necessary grit to face challenges and thrive.
Ginsburg practices adolescent medicine at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and is a professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He serves as director of health services at Covenant House, Pennsylvania and is the founding director of the Center for Parent and Teen Communication. He has written seven award-winning parenting books, including "Building Resilience in Children and Teens."
