Time: 12:00 - 13:00 SGT (GMT+8)

The teenage years bring new challenges for both young people and their parents. 

Communication changes. Independence grows. Emotions run high. What worked a few years ago may no longer seem effective.

Many parents find themselves asking:
• Why has communication become so difficult?
• How do I stay connected without becoming controlling?
• How do I build resilience and confidence?
• How can I support motivation, wellbeing, and healthy independence?
• How do I teach my child to make good decisions when no adult is watching?

In this interactive session, you'll be introduced to the Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQ), a research-based framework that helps us better understand how young people think, respond to challenges, manage emotions, and navigate life's pressures.
 
What You'll Learn

✓ What Mental Toughness is and why it matters in youth development

✓ The four pillars of MTQ: Control, Commitment, Challenge & Confidence

✓ How mindset influences behaviour, motivation, wellbeing, and performance

✓ Practical ways parents can adapt their approach to different personalities and developmental needs

✓ Helping teenagers develop moral courage, navigate peer pressure, and understand consent
✓ How MTQ can be used as a powerful conversation tool between parents and teenagers
 
Who Is This For?

• Parents with teenager children 
• Parents seeking a science-backed framework to better understand and support their children 

 

Raising teenagers isn't about having all the answers.  

It's about understanding what they need from us now.
