Program about tuning in to teens

A program is for parents of 10-18 year olds called Tuning in to Teens, while be held at the Peninsula Community Centre in coming weeks.

The free six-session program is based on "emotionally-intelligent" parenting.

The program will develop emotional intelligence by exploring: the ability to identify and understand one's own emotions, understanding others' emotions and responding with empathy, using emotional awareness as a guide when solving problems, dealing with frustration and being able to wait for an outcome, keeping distress from overwhelming the ability to think; and being in control of how and when to express feelings.

The aim of this program is to help parents improve their communication skills with their adolescent children and promote healthier emotional management for parents and teens.

Other program outcomes include teaching teens how to deal with conflict and how to avoid problem behaviours.

Tuning in to Teens will take place in Meeting Room 5 of the Peninsula Community Centre, Woy Woy, from 7pm-9m on September 28, October 4, 11, 18 and 25, and November 2.

Bookings are essential.

The program is run by Uniting Burnside and hosted by Coast Community Connections.
