Bradley takes you inside the adolescent's head and shows you why teens think and behave the way they do.  

You'll learn: how the teen brain works (and how it doesn't work); the "Top 10" of parenting your teen; the three top ways to earn a student's respect (and the three top ways to destroy it); and what everyone needs to know about substance abuse, sex and dating.  

Join us at 6:30 p.m. for a Let’s Talk parent-to-parent drop-in discussion group offering solutions and support.
