Organisers’ spokesman Alex Brown said: “We will be delighted to welcome Ian. It was said in a recent national newspaper feature that Ian knows what your teenagers are thinking before they even think it.

“Over a 30-year career as a child and adolescent psychologist, he has seen 50,000 teenagers, so if anyone is qualified to give advice on how to manage this tricky time for parents, it’s him.”

The event is being held in the AKS Junior School Hall, approached from King Edward Avenue and is sponsored by Fylde Soroptimists. It starts at 7pm, with doors open from 6.15pm.

Alex added: “Our last talk sold out, so advance tickets are strongly advised.”
