Background Evidence shows that parents of teenagers are looking for information. So, PAS commissioned market research to see what they would find helpful, and how and where they prefer to find information. This seminar was to discuss the findings of this research and to launch the associated report.
What parents want to know PAS commissioned Scotinform to conduct consultations with parents/carers of 11-19 year-olds. These findings provide useful guidance for anyone developing information for parents and highlight the role of schools in informing parents.
What teenagers want to know Susan Dobson of Childline Scotland, described teenagers' contact with the helpline. The issues highlighted suggest what parents should know about in order to support teenagers.
Why won't my teenager talk to me? This is the question which John Coleman OBE, University of Oxford, asks in his new book. His understanding is based on his experience of running workshops for parents of teenagers and what is now known about the physiological development of the brain in the teenage years.
