Navigating relationships throughout adolescence can be challenging at the best of times. As your teen learns more about themselves, their values and their convictions, they also discover their own voice. Combine this with the kindling of romantic interests, bullying, and ‘cliques’, and all you need is a spark to light the flame of drama. But as if to add fuel to the fire, the added element of technology and social media can also create barriers to healthy human connection. For this reason, in this session we’ll address the importance of teenage relationships. We consider ways to establish a healthy relationship with your teen, how to encourage and nurture healthy relationships between your teens and their peers, and how best to navigate the new digital landscape in which we all now live.
