Emotionally Intelligent Parenting

SIGN UP HERE

A six-session parenting program for parents of children from 10 years old and up.

It is designed to assist parents/carers to establish stronger relationships with their teenage children. Parents/carers are provided with a greater understanding of their teen’s emotional experience while learning specific skills that can assist in being supportive, empathetic and staying connected with the young person.

Learn to do the following:

• communicate more effectively with your teen
• understand your teen better
• help your teen to manage those difficult emotions
• help to prevent behavioural issues in your teen
• teach your teen how to deal with conflict more effectively.

Adolescents with higher emotional intelligence:

• are more aware, assertive and strong in situations of peer pressure
• have greater success with making friends and are more able to manage conflict with peers
• are more able to cope when upset or angry
• have fewer mental health and substance abuse difficulties
• have more stable and satisfying relationships as adults.

Emotional intelligence may be a better predictor of academic and career success than IQ!
