Parenting in the Teenage Years programme runs over six weekly sessions and has been revised for 2023. Aimed at all parents and carers of children and young people aged 11 to 19 years old. A wide range of topics will be covered helping provide you with the knowledge, advice and insight to parent with increased confidence.
Bringing you hope as you chart your way through the challenges of the teenage years and the changes in the parent-child relationship. The six sessions are designed to help you stay connected with your teenager through understanding their world and developing good communication skills.
The first three sessions look at laying good foundations in relationships with your teenagers: understanding the pressures they face, connecting with them, meeting their emotional needs and improving how you communicate with them.
Then we come to some of the harder topics: how parenting style effects your teenager, negotiation, setting boundaries and dealing with some of the big issues like drugs, sex and the internet.
Finally we look at building good family memories.
