Parent-Teen Relationships

Minicourse appropriate for grades nine and ten

As adolescents grow toward independence, many changes occur in their relationship with their parents. New patterns of communication develop, inevitably creating tensions for both parents and young people. Parent-Teen Relationships is designed to help the young people explore the dynamics of family interaction and grow in their ability to communicate with their parents. In three highly active sessions, the participants not only learn about skills that can enhance the quality of all their relationships but also practice them.
