Family Time / Parenting Teenagers

Facing teenagers’ issues together with other parents

Parenting Teenagers is a six session course that provides an opportunity for parents to connect with other parents facing similar issues through the teenage years.

Parents of teenagers easily become isolated from each other when there is no more standing at the school gate or collecting children from each other’s homes. This course provides a place for ongoing friendship and support. It also provides an opportunity to take a fresh look at our parenting – at the relationship we have built with our children and how we can help that to grow. It aims to help parents identify the areas in which they are strong, and those where they wish to improve. We begin at 7.45pm with a talk at 8pm. This will be followed by refreshments and then discussion groups. The evening will finish at 10pm.

What does the Course Cover?

Teenage Universe / Teenage Communication / Teenage Growth / Teenage Tensions / Teenage Issues / Teenage Pressures

“It gave us fresh hope and motivation to reconnect with our teenager.”

“It was such a relief to realise that we shared similar experiences with other parents of teenagers – we weren’t the only ones!”

“We loved getting together with other parents in a relaxed atmosphere.”
