We will address the arbitration process, the cornerstone of the PWOP program, and demonstrate techniques for parents to learn to teach their children basic problem solving skills; positive communication techniques and common sense ways to eliminate everyday hassles in the home.  We will also examine the emotional and psychological aspects of adolescence and enable parents to learn practical ways to enhance their children's self esteem.  At the conclusion of the program we will examine the importance of unconditional love as parents explore avenues by which households can become positive and the family can be celebrated.
