Parents and caregivers of teenagers are invited to attend Tuning into Teens, an informative session presented by Parenting WA.

The session will discuss topics which may help create a calmer and happier home environment as children make their way through the sometimes challenging teen years.

As more couples start their family later in life and grandparents continue to play a key role in the family dynamic, dealing with teenagers is becoming of increasing importance to all parents and caregivers.

“I have three grandchildren, including a teenager, and sessions such as these are a fantastic way we can all learn how to better communicate and understand the young people in our lives who are going through adolescence,” Armadale Mayor Henry Zelones OAM JP.

“You will also learn about the emotional development of teenagers, incorporating negotiation skills and how to support young people through what can sometimes be a difficult time in their lives,” said Mayor Zelones.

The session will be held on Thursday 25 June, from 5.30 to 7.30pm at Armadale Library, Armadale Central Shopping Centre.

Refreshments will be served at 5.30pm with the presentation starting at 6pm.

Bookings are essential. Call 9399 0125 or visit library.armadale.wa.gov.au to secure your place.
