Darlene, When did your child graduate? How long did it take? Do both of you still attend seminars? If so, have you found them to be helpful? Are they only available in Ca?"

My "child" graduated in early 2001. As for how long it took - it took not one day less than was needed. To be more specific - 14 months. We don't staff seminars on a regular basis, but have twice this year. I staffed a Visions, and he staffed a Focus at his former school. We staffed a Discovery together recently. Do they help? I know I wouldn't be living my life the same way if I hadn't experienced them. Again, they are open to the public so sign up, go and enjoy.
Someone said the seminars are required. The only one that is required is the first one and only if you want to join your child for the parent/child seminars. I sometimes think it's because it sends a clear message to your child you're also willing to let go of what hasn't been working for you personally and within the family. If your life is perfect and everything is working out great, there's no reason to waste your time. If it's against their beliefs, then they need to choose a program that doesn't base it's philosophy on personal growth.
To my knowledge the facilitators don't call themselves counselors. Their life experience speaks volumes and all the degrees in the world won't change that. Anyone that has been in a seminar with them will be better for it if they choose to be. I don't even think the first one should be required. Let the parents see what they're missing when the are face to face with their child.
Gotta go - Darlene

SPOTS - that's 10 or so out of the hundred + that were there. Did other seminars do this on the spot or was there a staff member attending the seminar that wanted to take some photos back to the kids and got a little happiness from the parents tp post on their website in the process?

"The state of transition from childhood to adulthood is, and has always been, wrought with danger. The term "At-risk teen" is redundant. Fact is, anyone who's got a teenaged kid and who's gullible enough to buy into the WWASP world view is a good mark as far as they're concerned.

So one teen get pissed at their parents for not letting them drive the car, dabbles a bit in drinking or smoking, grades slip now and then, lies some. That is normal teenage growing and learning.
On the other had you have one that is destroying property, hitting the parents, running away, hooked on drugs, quitting school, stealing on a regular basis, gets arrested or kicked out of school, the parents can no longer enforce rules of any kind...are you saying this is okay and that a wwasp or similar program wouldn't benefit?
