We are pleased to announce that Dr. Gabor Mate, family physician and noted writer on adolescent issues, is returning to speak at both Woodhaven Middle School and High Park School. Dr. Mate was last with us in January 2009 and spoke to a packed gym of parents about their children. It was so well received and was such a powerful message that we have invited Dr. Mate back to speak again.
As much as no kid wants to admit, they do need us. Adolescents crave a clear bottom line regarding what it means to 'Do Right'. They want predictability in their world because it makes it emotionally safe for them. Kids also want to feel in control. That's why it is critical that we keep an open dialogue going while we are trying to help them navigate through their trials and tribulations.
Dr. Mate will give you ideas and suggestions on how to build that kind of relationship with your child. He wants your advice to matter more than the advice of your child's peers.
We invite you to join us to listen to Dr. Mate on the following dates:
