Back-to-School Program for Parents with Dr. Alice Licata

Psychologist and author Dr. Alice Licata will talk about her book It’s Not Rocket Science: Down-to-Earth Advice on Raising Stellar Kids on Monday, September 27 at 6:30 p.m. in the Library meeting room. Dr. Licata earned her master’s and doctorate degrees in clinical psychology from Kent State University. The Kettering resident has two teenaged daughters. Unlike many parenting books that focus on the child’s behavior, the focus of Dr. Licata’s book is on behaviors that parents can learn to raise their children to be well-adjusted productive people. Dr. Licata says that “Parenting is not about being perfect. It’s about how to be rather imperfect, while still getting the job done.” Copies of the book will be on sale and the author will be available to sign them at the end of the program. She is donating a portion of the sales to the Wright Memorial Public Library Foundation. No advance registration for the program is needed.
