| Communicating with your Teen (West County) Trainer: Stephanie Main, M.A. Monday February 22nd 6:00-9:00pm @ Ventura College ICPD 71 Day Road, Ventura, Room 4 Does it seem to you that you say one thing and your teen hears something else? Would you like to learn a few strategies to overcome the “language barrier”? Join us to learn methods of effective communication and how to set clear boundaries during the critical years when adults and teens seem to speak a different language! This workshop will explore the developmental stage of adolescence and the stages that most teens go through, how to stay out of power struggles, give responsibility, build relationships, respect differences and take care of yourself in the process.
