From the Executive Principal
Parenting Tweens (children aged between 9 & 12) can bring both joy and challenges. The more we can inform ourselves and build skills in connecting with and supporting our children, the better placed we are to navigate this crucial time in their development.
This term, the Council of Catholic School Parents (CCSP) presents Michelle Mitchell in a free evening webinar for our Catholic school parents and carers:
Parenting Tweens: What Kids Need Now, Before the Teenage Years
24 June 7pm - 8pm
Recommended audience: Parents of primary school kids 8+
At this parent event, Michelle Mitchell uses the results from her recent survey of more than 2000 parents and tweens, as well as 20 years’ experience working with families, to help trusted adults capitalise on the years between 9 and 12. Using insight and messages from tweens themselves, this presentation will motivate parents to invest today, knowing it can change the trajectory of adolescence and beyond. Together we will explore:
- New, groundbreaking research about tweens' development
- Proven, research based ways to ensure your communication is effective
- Ways you can forge an unbreakable connection during the tween years
- Insights into the development of self-esteem and body confidence
- A non-judgemental, up-front discussion about technology
