Adolescents

Although adolescent children are not yet fully mature, they are a gold-mine of possibilities to be discovered and challenged.
Among the conflicts and crises, many of the values the family passed on to them during their childhood now start to bloom, and are tested and taken on board.
On this Family Enrichment course parents with their adolescent children aged 13 to 16 years old discover the values the latter have and learn together to relate sensibly and aid communication at times of crisis. They also analyse the social trends that affect the development of their fragile personalities.
