SUMMARY:Virtual Regional Training: Decoding Teens: Communication Clicks
DESCRIPTION:Parenting a teenager can feel like you’re trying to understand someone you have never met before! It’s completely normal to worry about whether you’re connecting in a meaningful way or if communication seems impossible. But here’s the good news—just by wanting to connect with your teen\, you’re already making amazing progress! In this fun and insightful training\, foster and adoptive parents will dive into the “mental anatomy” of teens\, learning how to better understand their world. You’ll also discover simple yet powerful ways to shift your perspective and start building a strong relationship with your teen—one that fosters trust\, communication\, and balance between being a parent and a friend. Get ready to strengthen your bond and become the supportive guide your teen needs! \nPresented by: Davind Taylor
