So you think your child is growing up too fast? Maybe we do, though they don’t think they are. But still, underneath all that grown-up ‘tween veneer’ is your little kid who worries? Worries? About what you may wonder. Well, maybe not what you think they worry about. The opposite sex? Yes, but that is pretty far down on their list of worries. The number one worry is you - their parent. They worry about your health and second on the list? To find that out listen in today so you learn about all the  concerns that your 10-14 year-old worries about. And most important, how you can talk to them - so they really listen to you.

Join me from 1-2 today when Dr. D’Arcy Lyness from KidsHealth.org will be on air talking about the survey they have done at KidsHealth (www.kidshealth.org) and the results. Remember that the way you talk to your growing tween is important to the information that you get from them. Hint: Don’t overreact - it may backfire.

Also joining me will be Port Jervis school psychologist Jody Hanlon to talk about their program - Living with Your Teen - which they have been offering classes on with the aid of Cornell Cooperative Extension (344-1234). For more tips tune in today and learn more about making good choices for you and your growing kids ~
