Parenting/Caring For Tweens and Teens
During adolescence, teenagers develop a new identity, which can be challenging for parents and carers to understand. These years can be a period where we feel very disconnected from the adolescents in our lives. This webinar explores the changes taking place in the teenage brain and how these changes impact social and emotional development. The webinar also provides practical advice to maintain a positive relationship between adult and teen, and to reduce conflict as you set new rules and boundaries.
Course Content
- Understanding the teenage brain and how it impacts on behaviour
- The impact of living with emotional intensity
- Supporting positive decision making, low stakes and high stakes
- Impact of peers and friendships, and the quest for perfection
