"Reality Gap – What Parents Don’t Know and Teens Aren’t Telling"
Growing up isn’t what it used to be and let’s face it… it’s hard for parents to broach certain subjects with their teens. Join us as Stephen Wallace brings parents and teens together for a candid, constructive forum about underage drinking, drug use, sex, violence and suicide. Wallace points out the “reality gap” separating parents and adults from young people at the time they need them most—adolescence—and offers concrete solutions to bridge this gap.
In his multiple roles as SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) Chairman & CEO, school psychologist, camp director and college professor, Stephen Wallace has broad experience and insight about youth development, behavior, and attitudes.
