Tween Talk: Problem Solving without the DRAMA! (School Holiday Workshop)

During puberty your pre-teen's emotions can become intense and unpredictable. Mood swings are common, and emotions such as frustration, confusion and anger can be the norm. This can lead to increased conflict and difficulty handling challenges and obstacles thrown their way.

This three hour workshop will help your tween explore these intense emotions and help them to understand the link between the emotional changes they experience and puberty. We will discuss the wide range of challenges and obstacles your tween faces day to day, and what sort of feelings and emotions these events bring to the surface. We will help your tween understand that feelings and emotions are normal, while highlighting that dealing with situations while emotional may not always elicit the best outcome. We will specifically teach your tween how to respond to situations, rather than be reactive, and provide them with the tools they need to accomplish this.

The workshop is fun and interactive, using a variety of activities and discussion.

In partnership with Baringa Community Centre we will be offering a Parent Workshop on Thursday 1st October at 5:30pm. As a result of Registering for this workshop you are automatically invited to attend. The sesion will cover information regarding Tweens, and will focus on the challenges they face and how to support them to handle their emotional outbursts better (based on what they have learnt during the workshop).
