Reducing Family Conflict
There are many different views on how to parent a teenager, we won’t get it right every time. Many parents experience conflict with their teenagers as they become young adults for example arguing, shouting, swearing or aggressive behaviour. Disagreements between siblings can be a major problem for families. This can be upsetting and lead to conflict between parents and teenagers. Teenagers friendships can influence how they speak and behave at home.. Teenagers need limits and rules for their behaviour and need to learn to get on with others at home, at school and in their community. Triple P gives tips and ideas that make parenting easier and help you come up with a plan to reduce family conflict.

The workshop will be relaxed and informal; you can talk as much or as little as you want.

You will get a workbook to bring home.
Parents who have attended this workshop have told us things like:
“ We are all getting on a lot better at home”
“the family meetings have been really helpful in dealing with issues and everyone feels heard. ”
“ I realise now that my teenager is growing up and I have to change my approach”
“ there is more talking and negotiating happening in our house which means everyone is much happier when decisions are made”
