I am looking forward to visiting Perrott Hill School, Crewkerne  in January to run the first of 2 workshops on “Building a positive relationship with your pre-teen/teenager”

This workshop will help parents to understand:

• Why your pre-teen/teenager behaves the way they do, including insights into the development of the teenage brain
• The impact of different parenting styles on the behaviour of their pre-teen/teenager
• How to talk so pre-teen/teenagers will listen
• How to manage behaviour, conflict and negotiate boundaries

There will also be an opportunity for parents to ask any parenting questions they may have.

I have been running these workshops at Heathfield Community School, Taunton for the last 2 years and they have been popular with parents, this is what some of the parents have said about them:

• It is very helpful in better understanding how the teenage mind works
• Very worthwhile – would definitely recommend
• Good to see we are not alone with our teenager issues

I want to make this a relaxing and enjoyable evening, it is an opportunity to find out more about teenagers, meet other parents and hopefully get some new ideas on how to approach different situations.

I am really looking forward to this!
