My blog - Parenting and Self-Care

Teenagers and how to talk to them.

18/8/2017

 
This week I practiced my strength of bravery and took on board the challenge of posting 5 vlogs in 5 days. I chose the theme of communicating with your children, and particularly teens, as this is a challenging area for many families. Mine included!  

​Now, these vlogs aren't perfect (as it is the first time I have done this). However, I have had feedback that the content is useful. They explore why we communicate with our children, whether our communication is parent or child centered, how we can set the scene for communication by making ourselves available, layering a conversation and how to respond when your teenager actually does talk to you!

I have posted a link to one of the videos below.  You can find the five of them at

I would love if you commented on what you found useful, and what else you would like me to vlog on.


Positive Young Minds will also be running practical workshops where the ideas in the videos will be expanded on and you have the opportunity to practice some mindful communication skills.  If you are interested drop me an email at youngminds.psychology@gmail.com.
