Cracking the Code of Parent-Teen Relationships
 

Cracking the Code of Parent-Teen Relationships

Cracking the Code is a 4-week educational workshop that provides adults with the tools to successfully navigate the often rocky terrain of parenting through adolescence.

By nature, adolescence is a process of kids pushing away from parent support and striving for independence. It is also a time during which learning and growth are accompanied by risks and struggle, which can put strain on the relationship between caring parents and their autonomy-seeking children. This workshop was designed specifically with the retention of a positive parent-child relationship in mind. Participants will learn the skills needed to manage these challenges, to modify habits that impact relationships, and will gain insights into challenging topics including: Relationships; Bullying; Sex and Emerging Sexuality; Technology Use/Risk Management; Academics/Future Planning.

Date/Time
