Greetings… J

As you may know, I teach Personal and Social Responsibility at Dauphin County Technical School. This program now has an 18-year proven track record encouraging the development of the social skills necessary for successful employment and interpersonal relations. 

The main purpose of the class is to help individuals TAKE CONTROL of their lives, rejecting the INVITATION from others to worry, become angry or depressed.  We will learn how to keep negative people or difficult situations from bothering us so much.

The success of this program has been due in part to over 1800 parents, alumni and friends who’ve previously attended this annual seminar (some numerous times).  You will be re-introduced to specific techniques that can be used to support one’s personal growth.

Because of the sensitive nature of social skills they are often not discussed until it’s too late.  Those of you who’ve been part of this class before may recall the essence of the material, but the impact may be fading.  COME BACK FOR A RE-FRESHER!!!

The Seminar consists of six classes (see schedule on other side).  You may come either the TUESDAY or WEDNESDAY classes or any combination and do not have to attend them all.  All classes are in the auditorium of DC-TECH and it’s FREE.  Just bring yourself, a friend (if you want) and a pen.  All other materials will be provided.

The material focuses on helping teenagers take charge of their lives, but everyone can benefit.  I continue to “take my own class” and grow each year.

Each Spring I look forward to the Parent Seminar with increasing desire, especially now that my wife and I have two “hormonally turbulent teenagers” ourselves.  For 36 years I’ve been teaching them but now having them adds a humbling dimension.  Never before have I had to practice at home more what I teach. 

Again, feel free to bring along any other interested person you may know.

Sincerely,
