Celtic Training’s short course, Understanding the Teenage Years: A Guide for Parents, offers practical strategies not only for supporting your teen’s well-being but also for maintaining your own mental health during this transformative phase.

 

Navigating the Teenage Years

 

Adolescence is a time of significant development, and understanding the changes your teen is going through is key. This course helps you navigate typical challenges, such as mood swings, identity exploration, and increased independence, while also teaching you how to set healthy boundaries that benefit both you and your child.

 

What You Will Learn

 

  • Adolescent Development: Gain crucial insights into how your teen’s brain is evolving and the ways this impacts their behaviour. From mood shifts to their growing sense of autonomy, understanding these changes will help you respond with empathy rather than frustration.
  • Effective Communication: Learn to build open, trusting dialogue with your teen, helping you better navigate conflicts and engage in difficult conversations. The course offers communication tips that foster mutual respect, encouraging cooperation rather than rebellion.

Balancing your well-being with your role as a supportive parent ensures you’re able to offer the best care possible to your teen.
