Module 2 FOSTERING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS
Understanding relationships is critical during adolescence. As teens mature, their relationships with both family and peers evolve considerably. This module explores how to foster positive relationship building in teens through these changes.

Module 3 SUPPORTING EMOTIONAL WELLBEING

Module 4 SETTING EFFECTIVE BOUNDARIES
Establishing appropriate boundaries is an essential yet tricky task in parenting adolescents. As teens seek greater autonomy, rules require adaptation to promote responsibility and safety. Wise limit setting involves picking battles carefully, communicating expectations clearly, reinforcing through consequences, evolving approaches over time, and fostering an open parent-teen bond.

Module 5 BUILDING HAPPINESS AND RESILIENCE
The teen years represent a period of intense change and insecurity that can dampen positivity if not properly supported. As a parent, you play a pivotal role in nurturing your adolescent’s happiness and optimism to help them thrive through challenges on the path to adulthood.
