Tuning in to Teens - Emotionally Intelligent Parenting

A six-session parenting program

for parents of adolescents aged 11 to 18

Would you like to learn how to:

• be better at talking with your teen?
• be better at understanding your teen?
• help your teen learn to manage their emotions?
• help to prevent behaviour problems in your teen?
• teach your teen to deal with conflict?

Tuning in to Teens shows you how to help your teen develop emotional intelligence. Adolescents with higher emotional intelligence:

• are more aware, assertive and strong in situations of peer pressure
• have greater success with making friends and are more able to manage conflict with peers
• are more able to cope when upset or angry
• have fewer mental health and substance abuse difficulties
• have more stable and satisfying relationships as adults
• have greater career success

Emotional intelligence may be a better predictor of academic and career success than IQ!

Centacare Bathurst are looking for interest from parents/caregivers/professionals who would like to take part in this program. If more than 10 people are interested, the program will run as 6 x 2hr sessions from late August. Please contact Megan Robinson for more information on 6342 1766.
