Not Quite a Teenager - Parent Workshop for Years 5 and 6 Parents

Your daughter might be hurtling towards adolescence, but how can you help her to reclaim and celebrate ‘girlhood’?

In this workshop, we will explore some of the pressures, emotions and challenges that your daughter might be

experiencing during these ‘not quite a teenager’ years. Psychologist and author Steve Biddulph, has written

extensively on the lost years of ‘girlhood’. In his words,“Ten-year-olds are fashion conscious (or to put it more 

accurately, fashion anxious). Twelve-year-olds are mortified to wear the wrong label, or not be seen with

the cool soft drink or snack foods.” This workshop will explore ways that parents can maintain a strong

bond with their daughter, while encouraging and negotiating age-appropriate freedoms.
