Understanding the teenage mind

Peer pressure doesn?t guide every decision your teenager makes, and as a parent, you have more influence than you may think.

These are some of the points Jenifer Lippincott, co-author of “7 Things Your Teenager Won?t Tell You,” wants parents to understand.

The Washington native has been featured on NBC?s “Today” show for her practical tips on dealing with issues that arise over rides, relationships, clothing, parties and school work. She will speak at Friends School of Baltimore on April 26.

Topics include:

» The true reason teens take risks ? the struggle for power

» Why teenage brains are often to blame. Learn why teens? chemical makeup makes finding a way to relate to and understand them far more important than controlling them

Lippincott will field questions from the audience and sign copies of her book following the lecture, which is free and open to the public. For information, call 410-649-3200.
