The ‘Real Parents’ group are excited to announce an upcoming webinar all about managing teens and their screen time on the 30th of April and then a webinar all about the things our teens need to thrive on the 29th of May.
Both of these have been designed by the Real Parents team who with a background in psychology, education, and social work provide one-on-one parent coaching and facilitate parenting programmes – including Tuning in to Kids, Tuning into Teens, Incredible Years, and Incredible Years Autism – some of which we received funding from MoE to provide.
These sessions are going to be hosted by Amber Paterson, a talented youth worker who has been working with teens for over 10 years and also provides supervision for other youth workers in the Canterbury community.
We’re reaching out to share these details with a few kura who we believe have the community who could benefit from these sessions and because we’re trying to reach as many parents as possible, in turn giving these parents the support they may need to care for their young person’s wellbeing. We’re sure these sessions may also be of interest to some of the kaiako in your school. We would love for you to include the details of these sessions in your school newsletter and across social media. We’re all about finding new and exciting ways to share the work we do with the people who might need it the most – let’s work together to make a positive impact on the wellbeing of our young people. We’ve attached a flyer relating to this course if you decide to share
