Parent webinar:
Talking to Tweens/Teens About Tricky topics
Have those ‘awks’ conversations about the big stuff more confidently.
Learn how to have unambiguous conversations about topics like racism and antisemitism, sexism and misogyny, sex, respectful relationship and consent.
Modern day parenting seems much more complicated than in previous generations! Young people have so much more information (and misinformation!) on topics previously labelled ‘adults only’…
This webinar helps parents have unambiguous conversations about topics like racism and antisemitism, sexual assault and consent. It will also help you understand how and why sometimes even really ‘good kids’ can find themselves in unsavoury group chat threads, and suspended or even expelled from their school.
There are hundreds of resources on how to parent well, yet many parents are incredibly busy and parents are eager for practical strategies that they can quickly apply to situations with children and young people.
This 60-minute webinar (or live, in person presentation) will talk parents through some of the topics and challenges that arise in parenting tweens and teens (from ages 10 to 18) and ways to make communication and connection part of your family fabric.
