Introducing a comprehensive parenting program for parents of teens and 'tweens. Paternidad Activa de Adolescentes (Active Parenting of Teens), 3rd edition, has been completely revised to address our complicated day and age. The resulting new program will give parents confidence and courage to meet the challenges (and savor the joys) of their children's teen years. The Spanish edition features video dubbed by professional actors in Mexico, plus a new Spanish Parent's Guide, certificates, and poster. (Leader's Guide is in English.)

What's new about the 3rd edition of Teens?

all-new video filmed in 2008 (dubbed in Spanish)
built-in flexibility: your class can be 2, 3, 4, or 6 sessions
all new materials, including Parent's Guide (in Spanish) and Leader's Guide (in English)

The revised program includes the essential Active Parenting model that has benefited millions of parents, plus:

teens & technology (the Internet, social networking sites, etc.)
the latest in teen drug use prevention (including prescription drugs)
teen bullying: how to spot it, how to handle it
special stepfamily considerations
how brain development affects teen behavior and decision-making
improved discipline and communication
updated teen sexuality issues

With the revised program, you will still be able to offer classes in which parents are able to learn and laugh in a supportive environment.

Here's what you'll be teaching:

Implement your class in 2, 3, 4, or 6 sessions
With so many different kinds of parents, why should there be only one kind of class? The Paternidad Activa de Adolescentes program is designed to make it easy for you to offer:

A a comprehensive, 6-session course

B a two-part class, each comprised of 3 sessions. Do the first class and then the second as a follow-up later in the year.

C a 4-session class for basics + in-depth skills practice

D a 3-session class for basic Active Parenting skills (with a teenage twist)

E a 2-session unit focusing on alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD) prevention, plus sexuality
