Family Links Talking Teens - parents of teens

Talking Teens workshops are based upon current research on adolescent development and parenting. They are designed for parents of teenagers and those whose children are approaching the teen years.

They aim to improve the relationship between parents and teens by:

• Exploring the importance of parents for teenagers;
• Developing parents understanding of teenage development and the influence of brain development on behaviour;
• Developing parents understanding of the importance of listening, verbal and non-verbal communication with teenagers;
• Promoting positive approaches to boundary setting and problem solving; and
• Providing an opportunity for parents to share their experience with other parents.

4 sessions are offered.
