WHO IS WALT MUELLER?
Dr. Walt Mueller is the founder and President of the Center for Parent/Youth. Understanding, a non-profit organization serving schools, churches, and community organizations across the U.S, Canada, and worldwide in their efforts to strengthen families by helping those who know and love children and teens to understand today’s rapidly changing youth culture.
Walt’s educational background includes research and studies in the disciplines of sociology, anthropology, theology, and postmodern generations.
Walt and his wife Lisa live in Elizabethtown – the home base of CPYU – and they have four grown children and five grandchildren.
Walt wants people to know that his greatest joys have come as a dad. He is not an expert on any of these issues, but rather sees himself as a fellow struggler with other parents and grandparents who are endeavoring to understand the world of kids in order to provide solid guidance and direction in the midst of a very confusing world.
SOME OF THE TOPICS THAT WILL BE COVERED:
- Cultural Forces Influencing Children and Teens
- Understanding Popular Music and Media
- Children, Materialism and Parental Pressure
- Understanding Negative Peer Pressure
- Raising Love-Sane Kids in a Sex-Crazed World
