CONNECTION THROUGH CHANGING FAMILY ROLES
Parents & caregivers
Reflect on family conversations, changing responsibilities and your child’s growing independence with greater care and intention.
Ask about support for parentsA space for what matters to you
Supporting a young person can bring questions about when to step in, when to listen and how to communicate a boundary. These conversations offer space to explore your own responses, needs and choices as a parent or caregiver.
Communicate boundaries
Prepare clear, thoughtful conversations about expectations, responsibilities and what matters within your family.
Support independence
Reflect on changes in your role and how to offer support while allowing a young person room to make age-appropriate choices.
What a conversation can look like
You might bring a recurring disagreement about responsibilities. A session could help you explore your reaction, clarify the boundary you want to express and consider a more constructive way to begin the conversation.
Begin with what feels relevant now. Adam listens, asks thoughtful questions and helps you explore perspectives and possible next steps. The focus is shaped together, rather than following a fixed programme.
A useful perspective
UNICEF recommends attentive listening, open-ended questions and acknowledging a teenager’s feelings. Understanding a young person’s perspective does not require agreeing with every view; it helps create room for a respectful conversation. UNICEF: 11 tips for communicating with your teen ↗

How sessions work
Sessions are online, in English, and last 90 minutes. You can explore a single conversation or a series of sessions, depending on what you want to reflect on.
These sessions focus on your reflection as a parent or caregiver. If you are asking about sessions for a teenager, contact Adam first to discuss suitability and consent.
