Pueblo -- Colorado State University - Pueblo will host teen parenting expert and author
Dr. Stephen Dixon at 7 p.m., October 14, at the Occhiato Center Hearthwell Lounge.
This event is free and open to the general public. The event is sponsored by the Woman and Non-Traditional Students organizations.

Dr. Dixon is well respected for his work with adolescents and is best known for counseling teens during the Columbine tragedy. The event will focus on Dr. Dixon's philosophies aimed at parents who often give into their teen's demands to avoid conflict and those that second-guess themselves when it comes to age-appropriate activities.

His philosophies are designed for parents frustrated with their teen's demands, whose efforts are undermined and parents who are losing faith in their abilities to discipline. Dr. Dixon helps parents set age-appropriate boundaries, limits and expectations, as well as helping them to determine specific guidelines to discipline.

Dr. Dixon's book "It Doesn't Take a Village: Putting Parents Back in Charge," has received excellent reviews by Amazon.com readers and will be available for sale at the event.
For reservations, contact the Office of Student Activities at 549-2151.
