Communicating with Parents
From the 12 volume series The Power of Choice
In this program, comedian/teen counselor Michael Pritchard visits high schools in Nashville and Boston to explore the critical issue of teen-parent communications. Through probing dialogue and hypothetical situations, they examine some of the ways in which family communication gets blocked, and consider what kinds of choices they can make to improve the situation.
Objectives:To stimulate young people to think critically about how they and their parents communicate with each other. To help them see themselves as having the power to improve those communications by making the right choices. To focus their thoughts on what they can do differently to cause a change for the better.
