Tuning into teens is a 6-week parenting program which offers a range of approaches to help parents and carers tune into their teen’s emotional experience, and to assist in the development of emotional intelligence through the use of the 5 steps of emotion coaching.
The program helps parents to:
- Increase their understanding of the adolescent stage of development
- Improve communication with their teen
- Assist their teen to manage their emotions
- Assist in managing difficult behaviours
- Assist your teen to manage conflicts
Experience shows that teens with higher emotional intelligence:
- Are more assertive in managing peer pressure
- Are more able to cope positively when upset or angry
- Have more stable and satisfying relationships as adults
- Have fewer mental health and substance use difficulties
