Harwood Union High/Middle school presents parent workshop, "I Define Me" with Drew Donofrio Monday, January 29th at 6:30pm. This presentation is for adults only. ALL parents/caregivers are welcome.

Today’s world impacts our children in ways unimaginable for previous generations. Consequently, old methods of communicating with kids seem inadequate. Trying to get through to our children can feel impossible. Often, they are searching for the definition of who they are through negative outlets. This leaves parents confused, searching for answers, and striving to have profound influence over their children This workshop is designed to give parents a better understanding of the issues facing our children: drug and alcohol usage, vaping, the impact of technology (digital distraction), bullying, risky behavior, exposure to adult material, distracted driving, and several others. Armed with the knowledge of what your children face today, this program will provide effective methods of communication through an in-depth understanding of how children receive information and what motivates them to want to apply it. Our speaker will incorporate real-life stories and examples from both his extensive law enforcement career working with youth and technology crime, as well as his experience as a parent and stepparent having raised seven children.

This parent workshop is designed to compliment an in-school program that students receive.
