Saint Ignatius College is proudly a Happy Families School and as such College families are invited to join the webinar titled ‘The Teenage Brain’ with renowned psychologist Dr. Justin Coulson at 7.30pm on Monday the 28th of February, 2022.
This webinar will cover the following information.
For some of us, raising teens tests us in new ways we could never have imagined. They’re not bad kids (usually...). But they’re experiencing life in new ways, and they really want their space. They want their friends. They want their independence. And... they mostly want it NOW. But there are things we can do to make this transition to adulthood delightful. There are important developmental realities that teens grow through. Being aware of them, and how the teenage brain works, can make raising them on their transition to adulthood delightful. We can harness our teen’s enormous positive energy, form bonds and connections that will sustain a lifetime of joy, and guide their decision-making process in life-changing, meaningful ways.
Building on cutting-edge psychological science, this presentation guides parents to the solutions they want, so that they can build beautiful connections with their teens. Parents will uncover why the most common "truths" about the teenage brain aren't actually correct, and what science really tells us about their challenging decision-making. Parents will learn how to really connect, even when their teen is trying to disconnect. They’ll unpack ways to set effective limits together with their teens so they can make safe, healthy decisions. And they’ll tap into the bright side of having teens, so the whole family can feel more joy.
We look forward to you logging on and enjoying being part of the Happy Families Team.
