Parents of teenagers… mark your calendars now. Mike Riera, Ph.D., family counselor for The CBS Saturday Early Show, will be at McDonogh on Monday, April 10 at 7 p.m. in the Ceres M. Horn Theatre to speak on “Demystifying Adolescence.”

Dr. Riera, who has been called the “Dr. Spock for teenagers and their parents,” will offer a fresh perspective on how normal adolescent development plays out in everyday life. He has insights and tools to help you:

  • Understand what your teenager isn’t telling you
  • Instill integrity in your child
  • Stay connected with your child and remain the parent

In addition to his connection with The CBS Saturday Early Show, Dr. Riera has appeared on Oprah, 48 Hours, The Today Show, The View and NPR.
