Dr. Carter returns to the Glenbard Parents Series as part of our 25th year celebration to offer science-based strategies for raising happy, healthy, and successful young people. Today’s parents confront  teen-challenges including social media pressures, video game obsession, sexting, vaping and uncertainty.  Drawing on both research and practical applications Dr. Carter offers tools to cope with modern pressures, and tactics parents can use to instill joy in teens that will point them toward meaningful, and productive lives.

Christine Carter, Ph.D., is a sociologist, and Senior Fellow at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center. Her best-selling books include “The Adolescence: Raising Happy and Successful Teens in an Age of Anxiety and Distraction” (2020) and “Raising Happiness: 10 Simple Steps for More Joyful Kids and Happier Parents.” Dr. Carter writes a monthly advice column syndicated on PsychologyToday.com and regularly appears on television, radio and in major print media.
