The Teen Years
'I used to be funny, the source of entertainment. I used to cook the best food ever. I loved in the warmest, safest, cosiest way. I was RIGHT, more often than not, listened to, wise counsel. Today, as it is most days, I am worthy of a snort and a roll of the eyes, glory be the parental role of teenagers, ranked the lowest form, still wearing my most winning smile!' (a mother of a teen)
Three evening sessions for parents (carers) of older children, particularly teenagers.
A safe space to talk openly and honestly, without judgement, about the joys and challenges you are experiencing. Also a chance to acknowledge this time as a massive, and sometimes painful, transition from your role as centre stage in your child(ren)'s life to somewhere in the wings.
If the group wishes to, we will do some guided writing exercises.
Wednesdays: 13, 20, 27 March: 7.00-9.00pm
We have given each session a general theme
Session One - Communication
Session Two - Hopes and Fears
Session Three - Expectation v Reality
YPC, 69 Ship Street, BN1 1AE
You can come to one, two or all three sessions.
Suggested donation up to £5 per session to cover refreshments. This is optional, or you can pay less.
PLEASE RSVP AS THERE IS LIMITED SPACE
