Parenting pre-teens positively: webinar

As children change when they enter the teenage years, knowing what to expect can help you handle these changes with positivity. If you have a child aged 9-12 years and you’d like some skills and strategies for negotiating the transition into the teenage years, this webinar might be for you.

This webinar looks at:

  • the changes your child is going through - and how your parenting might need to change
  • effective communication with your child
  • limits and boundaries for your child
  • your child's journey to independence
  • the importance and experience of the transition from primary to secondary school.

The webinar can help you with questions like:

  • When should my child have a smartphone?
  • How can I help my child manage social media safely?

In the webinar, you’ll be able to ask questions, share experiences, and hear other parents’ experiences and ideas.

Presenter:
Elly Robinson is a Senior Specialist at the Parenting Research Centre and co-author of three books on parenting adolescents. She has worked extensively in adolescent health, mental health and welfare. Elly’s 17-year-old daughter has taught her that being an adolescent health expert doesn’t mean you get it right all the time! Elly’s most recent book is Surviving Adolescents 2.0.
