Strengthen Your Family
Parenting Teenagers Course
Why do a parenting course?
We are the main influence on our teenager’s future. Discovering we are not alone in the challenges we face and picking up ideas from other parents can make a huge difference. Meeting our teenager’s deepest needs, setting healthy boundaries, helping to develop their emotional health and teaching them how to make good choices takes skill and dedication.
Children do not arrive with an instruction manual! Taking time to reflect on our end goal, can help us to build a good relationship with our teenager now.
Who is the course for? Parents, step-parents, or carers of children aged 10–18 years. While the course is based on Christian principles, it is designed for parents with or without a Christian faith.
Strengthen your family life…
The course is for every type of parenting situation, including parenting on your own, step-parenting, parenting as a couple, and caring for children who may not be your own. Whatever your situation, the practical tools you learn can help to improve and strengthen your family life.
