Raising Teenagers Doesn't Come with a Manual
One moment they're telling you everything. The next, you're getting one-word answers, slammed doors and wondering what happened.
The teenage years can be some of the most rewarding and challenging years of parenting.
Many parents find themselves asking:
-
Why won't they talk to me anymore?
-
How do I deal with constant arguments?
-
Am I being too strict or not strict enough?
-
How do I help them become independent without losing our connection?
-
Is what we're experiencing normal?
The Positive Parenting Summit has been created to help answer those questions.
Through expert insights, practical tools and honest conversations, you'll leave with a better understanding of your teenager, greater confidence in your communication and strategies you can use immediately at home.
What We'll Explore
Better Understanding
Gain insights into what is happening emotionally, socially and developmentally during the teenage years—for both young people and parents.
Better Conversations
Learn practical communication tools that can reduce conflict, improve cooperation and help teenagers feel heard without giving up boundaries.
Stronger Relationships
Discover ways to maintain connection, trust and influence during a stage of life where many families feel themselves drifting apart.
Hosted by Nicky Perfect BEM
Former Hostage & Crisis Negotiator | Communication Coach | Parent
As a parent herself, Nicky understands that some of the most challenging conversations we ever have don't happen in the workplace or during a crisis – they happen at home with the people we love most.
Drawing on more than 30 years of experience as a Hostage and Crisis Negotiator, alongside her work helping organisations manage conflict, communication and behaviour change, Nicky has seen first-hand how the skills that build trust, reduce conflict and strengthen relationships can transform family life too.
The Positive Parenting Summit was created to bring together leading parenting experts, practical tools and real-world advice to help parents better understand their children, communicate with confidence and build stronger family relationships. Because parenting doesn't come with a manual, but the right support can make all the difference.
