KEYNOTE: Helping Young People Make Positive Decisions About Their Future

About this talk

There are so many possibilities for children leaving college. This talk will equip parents and carers to play a crucial role in helping their children to make the best possible decisions about the next stage in their exciting future. 

The talk will cover 4 really important areas:

- How to listen so that your child expresses their thoughts fully (including when to ask reflective questions)

- How to manage your own responses and reactions to your child’s plans (especially when you really disagree!)

- How to have a positive conversation and share ideas (including when and where to talk plus what definitely NOT to say!)

- How to help your child with their own fluctuating emotions (so that they feel settled and confident)
