Bluestein in Bluffton
Taking Note
The free program “You Can’t Make Me! Parents, Kids and Boundaries” will be presented Tuesday, April 13, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Bluffton-Harrison High School Cafetorium, Wayne Street, off state Road 116 East, Bluffton. Registration begins at 6 p.m. and a dessert will be served.
The program will deal with why it’s so difficult to get your kids to do what is asked of them. Dr. Jane Bluestein, an award-winning author and recurring guest on OPRAH and CNN will use a down-to-earth style, practicality of ideas and sense of humor to explain what parents and teachers can do to set, express and maintain boundaries, avoid power struggles and build responsible cooperative kids.
The program is being sponsored by The Wells County Foundation, Inc. and Bluffton Regional Medical Center. To make reservations, call (260) 824-2001 or toll free (888) 919-3557 ext. 7006.
