This session will have Ron Taffel on hand to discuss his book, “The Second Family.” From Publishers Weekly, ”child and family therapist Taffel and writer Blau (authors of Parenting by Heart) contend that parental anxiety about teen violence is misplaced…Packed with gripping stories drawn from kids he’s helped in his private practice and from more than 200 interviews, Taffel’s book explains why it is imperative that parents…balance empathy and expectations, to reach their kids. The culprit, as Taffel sees it, is not peer pressure per se, but the enticements of what he terms ‘the second family,’ or the combined effects of pop culture and peers.”
