The training aims to help parents build close relationships with their growing teenagers. The training helps parents to:
understand the basic stages of adolescent development;
understand the teenagers’ drive towards separation from their parents, and how this can happen in a healthy way, in order to maintain the parent-child relationship during the turbulent transition period;
develop skills to understand and communicate with their children during conflicts and disagreements, as well as special skills for reconciliation and forgiveness after conflict and hurt;
understand the emotional reactions and behaviour of teenagers in times of crisis and how to stand by them as significant adults.
Towards the end of the training, a joint meeting with the teenagers is organised to help them understand their parents' reactions and to open up to reconciliation after conflict and hurt.
