When They Push the Boundaries
$25 AUD
In this webinar, Karen Young and Michelle Mitchell come together to equip parents, carers and professionals with strategies to help them stay connected to tweens and teens when they push the boundaries.
As two professionals who work with schools and families, and as parents who have walked every part of the adolescent adventure with their own children, Michelle Mitchell and Karen Young understand that parenting a tween or teen who is pushing hard for independence can be really tough. Although the drive for independence is such a normal and healthy part of growing up, it can be confusing, and difficult to know how to respond to.
In this webinar, Michelle and Karen will come together to equip parents, carers and professionals with strategies to help them stay connected to tweens and teens, and build positive influence during the most challenging of moments. They will explore why tweens and teens make risky decisions and break rules, and how to respond in ways that strengthen them and preserve your connection. With some very specific strategies and solid information, those trick teen years can be much easier.
This webinar will explore:
- The role of mistakes in growing up
- Why defiance is important and how to manage it
- How to make rules they are more likely to follow
- What to do when they break the rules
- How to empower decision making and a moral compass
- How to talk to tweens and teens about high-risk decisions and guide them towards a safer path
- The big concerns – drugs, alcohol and unsafe sex
- The role of mental health in high-risk decisions
- When to seek help, and the importance of listening to our gut instincts
- How to balance the scales in their favour and strengthen connection to guide them through.
