Parenting a teenage is never easy. Understanding and responding to the adolescent emotions are skills worth learning that will help you to establish a stronger parent-teen relationship. The Tuning in to Teens™ course introduced by CCM Calgary Centre is now open for fall registration.

Tuning in to Teens™ is a parenting course developed by the University of Melbourne that focus on the emotional connection between parents and their teens. The evidence-based course has proven success in improving parenting, parent-child relationships and children’s emotional competence and behaviour. 

Parenting Skills That Enhance Relationships

This s a six-week parenting course run one morning a week for two hours. The course will teach you how to manage your own and your adolescent’s emotions in ways that help you to remain close and keep communicating. By learning these skills, you are less likely to have as much conflict within your family and your teen is more likely to talk to you about the challenging issues they face. These are factors that have been found to reduce the risk of mental health and substance abuse problems.
