October is Let’s Talk Month, a nationally celebrated month emphasizing the importance of communication between youth and the adults they trust in helping young people develop responsible attitudes and make wise choices.

Studies show that parents who have ongoing conversations with their children about issues such as sex, drugs, alcohol and other risky behaviors can have a significant impact on the choices their children ultimately make.

Dr. Meg Meeker, author of Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, Boys Should Be Boys: Seven Secrets to Raising Healthy Boys and Your Kids at Risk will speak Thursday, October 23rd from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Girls Preparatory School.
