Tuning Into Teens Workshop

What Is Tuning into Teens?

Tuning in to Teens (TINT) is a six-week parenting program run once a week for two hours. The program will teach you how to work with your own and your young person’s emotions in ways that help you to remain close and keep communicating. By practising these skills, you are less likely to have as much conflict within your family and your young person 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.

What are the aims of the Tuning into Teens Program?

The program aims to teach parents about how they, as parents, can help their teenage children develop good emotional skills.  For example:

• awareness of what emotions their teen is experiencing
• to view their teen’s emotions as opportunity to connect with them and guide them
• helping their teen identify and describe what they are feeling
• learn to listen to their teen’s problems without judgement 
• strengthen their and their teen’s skills problem solving and learning to cope with boundaries and limitations
