■ Ask a Pediatric Neurologist Wednesday, Oct. 19, 6 p.m. Methodist Stone Oak Hospital

1139 E. Sonterra Blvd., San Antonio, frst foor, Classroom One

Presented by Hatem Megahed, MD, neurologist

A wide variety of neurological disorders affect children, including attention defcit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), epilepsy, cerebral palsy, autism, sleep disorders and more. Join Dr. Megahed as he dis-cusses pediatric neurology and answers your questions.

Parents work to keep their kids safe and healthy while helping them grow into independent, well-adjusted adults. Alcohol can seem so common and familiar that parents might forget how risky drinking is for young people, but alcohol kills more teens than all illegal drugs combined. By participating in this workshop and reading the handbook provided, you can substantially reduce the chance that your son or daughter will drink before the age of 21. Because each family is different, you may relate to some sections of the workshop better than others.

We hope that you will join us at this parent workshop, review the handbook and use parts that are helpful to you and your family. Offered by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in partnership with Methodist Healthcare.
