Parent Education Recommends the Upcoming Events:

   Wed. April, 23: Negotiating Mid and Late Adolescence--the Parent/Teen Journey
   
   All lectures are located at the Swedenborgian Church, 2107 Lyon at Washington. For more information visit www.sfprg.org.
   
   

2. The JCC presents Mary Pipher, author of the 1994 best seller Reviving Ophelia, the book that opened America's eyes to the psychological toll that adolescent girls face growing up in a country rife with sexual abuse, school violence and an overwhelming pressure to be thin.
   
   Her second book, The Shelter of Each Other: Rebuilding Our Families, explores the loss of community in America that encourages people to develop their own family structures rather than rely on popular culture to do it for them, and urges them to be selective in the media they allow to enter their lives.
   
   The lecture is Monday, May 5 at 6: 30 p.m.  $15 member, $20 public. Go to the JCC website to purchase tickets.
