A mother of two grown children, Cindy has more than 30 years of experience in education and health care.

Teen Manners: It’s Never Too Late (A Talk for Parents)
Audience: Parents
Location: Any
Length: 30-45 minutes
Audience size: 30-50

Teens are in a developmental stage where they break away in order to establish themselves as individuals. They are starting to make choices about who they will become as social people. Parents can help influence those choices—by giving teens the opportunity to make manners their own. Cindy provides advice for parents to help them survive this crossroad. She emphasizes two key points: know what to expect from teens and expect it; and follow the Golden Rule of parenting: act as you would like your children to act. A Q&A session follows Cindy’s talk.
