NEXT COURSE DATES - AWAITING CONFIRMATION

Free Workshop for parents and carers - delivered through Extended Services

(NB: This is promoted by Lifespace, but not delivered by Lifespace!)

Sometimes it is easy to forget that whilst being an adult has all sorts of stress and strains, being a teenager isn’t that great either.  First of all, teenagers are at a difficult age when they are no longer seen as children and neither as adults.  Secondly, their hormones are racing, they are under pressure from friends and the latest trends won’t leave them alone.

These are just some of the issues that lead to the mood swings and tantrums that we commonly associate with teenagers. This workshop aims to open up communication and improve your relationship with your teenager.

The three Alcester Secondary Schools have come together to provide these one-day workshops.  These workshops are delivered by an external provider.  Any parent can attend any workshop at any venue.  Lunch and refreshments are provided. Booking is essential.
