Parents of Early-Adolescents Conflict Education

Overview

The 8-week Parents of Early-Adolescents Conflict Education program is designed for the parents of 12.5 to 15.5 year-olds who are having frequent and/or intense arguments with their teen. Each session deals with a problem common to parenting teens and gives you assignments to help you deal with them.
