Brandon Centre parent training programme is for parents and carers facing challenging behaviour from their teenage child (age 12-16). The programme offers parents practical guidance in changing and improving challenging teenage behaviour.
Many of the parents who attend the programme are finding their child’s behaviour at home difficult to manage, some are concerned about how their child is behaving at school and others are worried that their child is getting into trouble with the police.
Parenting with Love & Limits is a programme for parents of teenagers with challenging behaviour. A group of parents meet weekly for six sessions with experienced facilitators.
Sessions cover:
- why teenagers misbehave
- button-pushing and learning how to remain calm and in control when being provoked by a teenager
- using rules and behaviour contracts to set clear boundaries for teenage behaviour
- using rewards and consequences to help stop extreme behaviour such as threats and acts of violence, truancy, and alcohol or drug abuse
- guidance and strategies for managing teenager’s use of mobile phones, laptops, PCs, Play Station etc
- strategies to restore love and a positive relationship between parent and teenager while remaining strong and sticking to rules and boundaries.
