NO REGRETS PARENTING SEMINAR TO BE HELD AT DANA HILLS HIGH SCHOOL
The Capistrano Unified Council of PTSAs (CUCPTSA) will be hosting Dr. Harley Rotbart, author of the national best selling book, No Regrets Parenting––Turning Long Days and Short Years into Cherished Moments with your Kids, Wednesday, February 20 at 6:45 p.m., in the Dana Hills High School Porthole Theater.
No Regrets Parenting is about time management with kids, from crib through college. But it’s not like other “time management books.” Those are geared for efficiency with kids rather than for intimacy with them, for organizing rather than optimizing the time parents spend with their kids. How to get everything done is not the same as how to make the time spent with kids more meaningful and memorable. This is a book about capturing the precious moments of parenting that otherwise are lost in the name of efficiency. It will guide you in taking the mundane, exhausting routines of parenthood and turning them into special parenting events. It’s all about redefining “quality time.”
Dr. Rotbart is Professor and Vice Chair of Pediatrics at the Univ. of Colorado, where he has been pediatric specialist for the past 30 years. He has been named to Best Doctors in America every year since 1996. He has more than 175 medical and scientific publications, and this is his 3rd book for parents. He serves on the Advisory Boards of Parents Magazine and Parents.com and regularly appears in major national media as an authority on child health. Visit his website: www.noregretsparenting.com.

COMMUNITY
OVERTAKEN’ PARENT NIGHT AT NIGUEL HILLS MIDDLE SSCHOOL THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21
On Thursday, February 21, at 7:00 p.m. in the Blue Commons, Niguel Hills Middle School will be holding a special PTSA sponsored Parent Night that will feature a showing of the movie ‘Overtaken’, as well as guest speakers to discuss this very important topic. ‘Overtaken’ is an important video that highlights the crisis of youth drug abuse, which has risen to an epidemic level in our communities. It was created by two local parents, Jodi Barber and Christine Brant, who set a goal to educate young people and save lives. The video is short (27 minutes), and addresses drug use and drug overdoses through frank interviews with young people and adults with firsthand experience in the crisis. The creators of the movie and some of the individuals featured in the movie will be present, along with local health professionals. Also present will be Mike Darnold, who handles Substance Abuse Interventions and Advice at Dana Hills High School. Mike has worked with young people for many years, and will share what you as parents can do to help your kids continue to live a healthy lifestyle and avoid the pitfalls of drug abuse. They will all be there to provide information and answer your questions. If you would like to view a preview of the movie, you can see it at this link:
You are welcome to bring your 6th – 12th grade children with you to the parent night on February 21 if you would like them to hear the presentation. Again, we encourage your attendance at this very important parent night on the 21st.
