Parenting Teenagers

Parents of teenagers can become more effective parents when they understand the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive changes that take place during adolescence. In this workshop, parents will:

• Discuss the developmental changes that occur during adolescence.
• Explore issues that may cause conflict between teenagers and parents.
• Practice effective communication techniques for developing better relationships with adolescents.

This workshop was developed by Susan Pickle, former Human Development Regional Specialist.
