Dwayne Peace Life’s Challenges in Secondary School
 Parent Presentation on March 14th at 6:30 pm At Matthew Halton High School We encourage all parents to attend this amazing event! An in-school presentation that covers issues secondary school kids face, such as bullying, cyber-bullying and online behaviour, body image, suicide, rumours, gossip, drama and more. In this most requested session Dwayne will talk about issues that are effecting many students on a daily basis. This session provides the same information to parents that their children received in an abbreviated format and from a different angle. This session will cause parents to think about their parenting style and the bad habits that they have carried over from when they were raised. Parents will view the last 15 minutes of the 60 minute video the students watch. Dwayne will then share what the youth are telling him such as: • they are tired of the fighting, screaming and hollering going on in the house • they are tired of being compared to their siblings • they wish they were closer to their parents • they miss spending time with their dad’s • why are they under attack when they do something wrong but they are not celebrated when they do something right • they are afraid of not meeting their parents expectations
…and much more. There is also a portion of this section that focuses on Dad’s role in the family. This is a very powerful session for parents to attend for the sake of their children.
