Trouble talking to your kids? Come to “Hot Potatoes” discussion group




Sawtooth Mountain clinic’s “Hot Potatoes” are about hot topics, which are by nature difficult, touchy, uncomfortable, and….often avoided because of it. As parents, sometimes we just don’t know how to start talking with our children about tough subjects or what to do if things go from hard to heated. When we develop the skills to talk with them about one hot topic, we have the skills to talk with them about other hot topics that are going to pop up as we move through life.

In this session of “Hot Potatoes,” we will be discussing: . Developmentally appropriate communication skills. . Tips for conflict resolution.

Two of Sawtooth Mountain Clinic’s own, Sarah Dragswiek (behavioral health consultant) and Sandy Stover (physician) will be on hand to help lead the discussion. They bring a wealth of personal and professional experience in discussing the “hard stuff” – they are both moms, with kids that range from adult to preschool. They’ve been there.

There will be no cost to attend, and a free baked potato bar will be provided. This important discussion will be held Thursday, November 17 at the Sawtooth Mountain Clinic classroom from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

If you plan on attending an RSVP is appreciated. Please contact Hartley@SawtoothMountainClinic.org or call Hartley at 218-387-2330 x163 to let her know that you plan on attending.
