January 22, 2011 Bullying and Teasing: What Can You Do As a Parent 9:30AM
DODGEVILLE, Bullying and Teasing � What Can You Do As a Parent to Help Your Child or Teen? A free interactive workshop, Sat., Jan 22, 2011
9:30 AM Reception/Registration
10:00 AM Paul Gasser presents
Noon Light Lunch and Discussion
Kids today live in an increasingly troubled social environment, where harmless teasing has moved into aggressive and painful bullying, occasionally with alarming results. In fact, the Kickapoo Free Press in Viroqua reported recently that as many as four deaths in southwest Wisconsin can be directly laid at the door of teenage bullying. Parents may feel that no matter what they say or do, they are powerless to help.
In a timely and much-needed workshop, entitled �Bullying and Teasing � What Can you Do as a Parent to Help your Child or Teen?�, family therapist Paul Gasser will provide practical and easy strategies for the next time you face this type of challenge. This mid-winter workshop, for parents, kids, counselors and others who work with young people, will give you the confidence to know what to say, and how to say it.
This free event is scheduled for Saturday, January 22, 2011 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Plymouth Congregational (UCC) Church, 115 Merrimac Street in Dodgeville (across the street from the Iowa County Courthouse parking lot.) Registration and reception will begin at 9:30 a.m.. Gasser will present at 10 a.m., followed by a noon discussion over a light lunch. The seminar will be complimentary but attendance is limited, so early registration will be important.
To pre-register, go to www.grassrootswi.org and click on �Forums� or find �Grassroots Citizens of Wisconsin� on Facebook and RSVP to this event.
