FOCUS: Parenting Guide
"FOCUS: A Practical Parenting Guide" is designed to help parents communicate more effectively with their children and to prepare families to cope with critical issues facing children and adolescents in New York City today.

NYC-PIA now offers a revised and expanded edition of FOCUS to parents in participating NYC independent schools. Your school may offer printed copies of FOCUS, and/or may offer a password so that you can download it here.
