Parent Panel
Back for a second year, our popular Parent Panel session offers a chance to hear from seasoned BSM parents who are willing to share their experiences from the "frontlines." A wide variety of parent/teen style relationships are represented, assuring that everyone will find something to which they can relate. The Q&A forum, facilitated by Dr. Kahn, provides the opportunity for you to bring your concerns and questions to other BSM parents.
