From Childhood to Teens: Workshop

As your child grows, their needs change. Many families notice a shift that begins around age 8 and continues into the teen years. This can bring more emotions and new challenges.

This workshop will give you practical ways to support your child’s growing independence, build their confidence, and feel more prepared for what lies ahead. 

You’ll learn 

• About the emotional, physical and social changes that come with adolescence. 

• How to start involving your child in decisions.  

• Ways to build your child’s voice and confidence to speak up. 

• How to balance growing independence and continued support.
