This Workshop is broken down into 3 main parts:
Adolescent Development:
The physical, emotional, and mental developments that occur during adolescents. This can help adults adjust their communication approach and expectations to better suit the age of the child
Communication Skills:
Review generally effective communication skills, learn neutral ways to approach difficult topics (e.g., social media, substance use, sexual activities, rule-breaking) that often lead to disagreements between adolescents and their adult caregivers. We will discuss and practice some calming strategies to reduce tension and manage your emotions if you notice they’re getting in the way
Seeking Supports:
When (and why) to get outside support from the school and/or community
