Where: International Institute, room 104

Adolescence often brings more tension, less communication, and the feeling that home is no longer as calm or connected as before. Many parents wonder how to stay close to their teenagers while navigating daily conflicts and emotional ups and downs.

In this dynamic and practical workshop, we will step back from daily struggles to look at the bigger picture: the emotional atmosphere we create at home and how it influences our relationship with teenagers.

We will explore how communication, tone, reactions, and even the “unspoken messages” within the home shape behavior and connection far more than we often realise. Instead of focusing only on solving problems, parents will learn how to create a more positive emotional climate that encourages cooperation, trust, and closeness.

Through real examples, reflection, experiential exercises, and group discussion, parents will gain tools to:

• Reduce daily tension and conflict at home
• Improve communication with their teenagers
• Respond to challenges with greater awareness and less reactivity
• Strengthen connection while maintaining their presence and authority as parents

This workshop is designed to help parents better understand what truly shapes the home environment and how small changes can lead to meaningful transformation.

Participants will leave with greater awareness, practical tools, and new ways to create a calmer, more connected relationship with their teenagers.

Important:

The workshop will be conducted entirely in English.
The workshop is  free of charge.

Places are limited to a maximum of 15 participants per workshop to ensure a comfortable and supportive environment for participation and discussion. Therefore, only one parent per family may attend, and children are not permitted.
