Parenting teens can be tough – teenage years are full of challenges and change. Hormonal changes can cause intense emotions and rapid mood shifts and teenagers are exploring their identity and experimenting to try and find the right fit.
We are excited to be running a 6 week group program for parents of teenagers and preteens (ages 11-18) called Tuning into Teens. The program will run on Thursdays 9.30am - 11.30am for 6 weeks (26 October - 30 November 2017) at our offices in Bunda Street, Canberra city. The cost is $410 (GST inclusive) per person, including parent manual to keep, paid prior to commencement.
About Tuning into Teens
Tuning into Teens is a 6 week program that provides parents with a greater understanding of their teen’s emotional experiences while teaching specific skills that can assist in being supportive, empathic and staying connected with the young person.
It can help parents move from the role of ‘manager’ for their child (planning and organising everything for them), to ‘consultant’ (a person your child can trust, who provides solid advice and guidance, but who also supports their growing independence). The program supports parents to help their teen develop emotional intelligence, which helps them make good decisions.
Parents who are interested can contact our reception on 02 6195 0844.
