Talking to Your Teen: Collaboration vs Collision
› Online Via Zoom
In this 75-minute session, we explore typical parent-child communication issues, including woes and pitfalls. You’ll practice how to give effective praise and feedback that encourages accountability and understanding. Plus, you’ll learn how anxiety can impair effective conversations and how to avoid its trap.
As a parent, have you ever wondered . . .
- “Can I ever say the right thing?”
- “What questions won’t make my kid mad?”
- “How can I get more than one-word answers?”
If so, you are not alone. SOS4Students has strategies and tools you (and your student) can put to use right away.
