A parent talk just for mothers of sons facilitated by Julie Metzger, founder of Great Conversations.

Julie Metzger, the founder of Great Conversations, will be joined by Peter Metzger, MD, a pediatrician with Pediatrics Northwest in Tacoma.

Seattle Children's Hospital generously sponsors this event.

This event is for grown-ups: parents and adults who support and teach preteens and teens only (not with children).

Dads! There is nothing quite like being a dad of a daughter. Becoming more aware of what your preteen/teen daughter is experiencing physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively will give you tools to support and communicate more confidently. Enjoy this unique opportunity to gather and ask questions.

Seattle Children's Hospital generously sponsors this talk.

This event is for grown-ups only. Parents, guardians, grandparents, caregivers, and teachers.

Julie Metzger, RN, MN, will bring her 30-plus years of experience working with families of girls to the conversation in this popular parent talk.
