Tuning In To Kids and Teens: Free 6-week parenting programmes
Tuning Into Kids and Tuning into Teens are FREE 6-week parenting programmes run by Mana Ake on emotional regulation and emotion coaching for parents. Tuning into Kids looks at children aged 5 to 12 years and the Teens programme focuses specifically on the developmental needs of teenagers (Years 6 to 8).
The programmes focuses on strengthening the connection between parents, caregivers and their kids. When kids and parents develop skills in effectively communicating about emotions, family relationships are stronger.
