Parenting Pro Brings '1-2-3 Magic' to Oakton
Parenting expert Dr. Thomas W. Phelan will share his straightforward advice about parenting and discipline, 7 - 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 14, at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.
"My goal is to help parents avoid some of the turmoil we experienced, and which I hear about from other parents every day," says Phelan, the father of a child diagnosed with attention deficit disorder. "With some basic understanding of what makes children tick - and a ton of patience - parenthood can provide some of life's greatest satisfactions."
Dr. Phelan will discuss proven techniques found in his ParentMagic series of books, videos, and DVDs, including the popular programs 1-2-3 Magic, Surviving Your Adolescents, Self-Esteem Revolutions In Children, and All About Attention Deficit Disorder. Dr. Phelan is a member of the American Psychological Association and Illinois Psychological Association. He also has served on the boards of ADDA and CHADD, two national ADD organizations.
Admission is $5, with proceeds going to support Oakton's Early Childhood Education Centers in Des Plaines and Skokie, which provide quality year-round care for children ages two to five years old. Free parking is available in Lots C and D.
For more information about this program, contact the Oakton Early Childhood Education Center at 847-635-1840 or 847-635-1441.
