Tuning into Teens™
Group Parenting Program
Welcome to the Tuning into Teens Program
Navigate the journey of parenting a teenager with our Tuning into Teens program, a supportive program designed for parents of children aged between 10 and 16. Our approach is grounded in the evidence-based Tuning Into Kids framework.
Strengthening your connection becomes essential as your teen navigates the complexities of adolescence experiencing changes physically, emotionally and socially. Tuning in to Teens highlights how understanding and addressing emotions can improve communication and foster deeper and more supportive relationships. Many of the challenging behaviours you may encounter stem from emotions that your teen is still learning to articulate and manage.
In this program, you’ll learn how to become an “Emotion Coach,” guiding your teen in recognizing and regulating their emotions. This journey strengthens your relationship and helps your teen develop vital emotional intelligence, equipping them for a successful transition into adulthood.
- Help parents become more aware of their own and their teen’s emotions and develop skills to regulate the emotions in themselves and their teens
- Develop and encourage emotional competence in teens
- Enhance relationships with their teens and families and have more positive emotional experiences
- Deal more effectively with conflict
- Better communication
- Understand and respond to the behaviours more effectively
