- PERSPECTIVES DIALOGUE .... the interactive monthly series is now on Thursday and starts at 6pm
- JANUARY 17, 2008
We will have a panel to discuss:
RAISING CHILDREN between two cultures
Immigrants and even second generation Canadians still face a dilemma in dealing with their children,
and as if being a teenager is not hard enough already, some of those youngsters need to reconcile the peer pressure - their eagerness to fit in and be accepted
- with meeting the demands of their parents who appear to them to be from a different planet.
COME AND HEAR SEVERAL VIEWS
