Looking for practical tools for parenting teens? Parents are invited to attend the "Parenting Teens with Love and Logic" series on Sundays, Jan. 12 and 26, and Feb. 9 from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

The series is being held at Southminster Presbyterian Church, 916 E. Central Rd., Arlington Heights. The leader, Marriage and Family Therapist Sheila D. Hynes, MA, LMFT, is a Love and Logic Independent Facilitator.

Parents want to enjoy their kids, have fun with them and enjoy a less stressful family life. Parenting the Love and Logic Way will teach parents how to:

• Avoid un-winnable power struggles and arguments

• Stay calm when teens do incredibly upsetting things

• Set enforceable limits

• Avoid enabling and begin empowering

• Help kids learn from mistakes rather than repeating them

• Learn how to communicate so kids will listen

• Learn how to recognize emotions and use empathy instead of anger.

Workshops feature videos, handouts and group discussions with other parents, led by. Cost is $20 per person or $30 per couple for all three sessions. For more information and to register, visit spcah.org.
