Tuning in to Teens
Emotionally Intelligent Parenting
A six-session parenting program for parents of adolescents aged 12-18
Would you like to learn how to:
¿ be better at talking with your teen?
¿ be better at understanding your teen?
¿ help your teen learn to manage their emotions?
¿ help to prevent behaviour problems in your teen?
¿ teach your teen to deal with conflict?
Tuning in to Teens shows you how to help your teen develop emotional intelligence. 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
¿ have greater career success –
¿ Emotional intelligence may be a better predictor of
academic and career success than IQ!
