Foster and Hicks facilitate their program for parents on how to raise happy and resilient teenagers3/3/2016 ![]() Parents at Bay Area high schools, including Mt. Tam and Los Gatos High Schools, have been learning a system of behaviors that are scientifically recognized as being fundamental to academic and life success. Through concrete, practical techniques and tools, Rick and Greg have been teaching a 9-step roadmap to effectively navigate through the difficult choices required for effective parenting, including: how to adopt "intentional communication" to deliver difficult or unpopular messages; how to identify "parenting defenses" and determine how these defenses sabotage success as a mother or father; converting fears and stresses about their children into opportunities and new actions; using appreciation and truth in ways that motivate; building relationships with their children that increases the opportunity for the child to to feel valued, worthwhile, and respected, as well as teaches the child accountability rather than victimhood.

Is there info you can send me about this that I might be able to share with a parent support group where I work? (Outplacement therapeutic treatment center and school in CT).
