Support group for parents of teenagers

About the event

Being a parent is a challenge at every stage, but being a parent of a teenager is truly hardcore. Often, it is a time of difficult emotions and mutual misunderstanding due to ongoing changes. How can you allow your child autonomy without losing your mind with worry? How can you deal with hormonal storms, neurological changes, and maintain the relationship without hurting each other? Is it even possible? What most often disrupts the previously calm family system is communication. The older generation doesn't understand the younger, the younger doesn't want to listen to the older, and everything is steeped in resentment and frustration. Parents often feel they can't keep up with their child and aren't up to date. So how can you reconcile growing up with care? What do teenagers need to do to grow up? What should parents know to not hinder this process? How can you, as a parent, avoid feeling like a failure or isolated? Join our developmental support group! 📚 Why "developmental"? Part of the shared time is dedicated to providing and working through knowledge. 🤝 Why "support"? Being among people who are experiencing similar difficulties or doubts at the moment provides support and relief. 👥 Why "group"?
