Parent-Teen Connection

We know that adolescence can be a time of turmoil and change - for both children and their parents. Good behaviour in teenagers starts with a warm relationship and positive communication. There are plenty of things you can do to maintain a strong relationship and stay connected. This course will provide you with a practical 'how-to-guide' to help you understand your teen's behaviour and give you some skills to manage challenges effectively.

Topics the course will include:
-The tasks of adolescence;
- How your teen's developing brain affects their thinking and behaviour;
- Developing a helpful perspective on adolescence;
- Different parenting styles and approaches;
- Communication in a way that teenagers understand;
- The emotional challenges that occur during adolescence;
- Active listening skills;
- Ways to stay connected;
- How to respond rather than react to challenging behaviours;
- How to have a difficult conversation with your teen.
