S.W.I.F.T. (SEVEN WEEKS TO TRANSFORM YOUR FAMILY LIFE)

---

The Maxwell System is delighted to announce our 7 week Course for Parents of Preteens and Teenagers.  Two hours 7.30pm to 9.30pm weekly online group.  Next course begins 30th April 2025.

S.W.I.F.T. (Seven Week Intensive Family Turnaround) 

Specifically aimed at parents of children and young people aged 9 to 18

Our 7 week SWIFT programme is for you if you would like to: 

• Understand how your pre-teen/teenagers emotions work. 
• Know how to support them with the modern day reality of being a pre-teen/teen. 
•  Learn five tried and tested tools that help resolve 'off track' behaviour and give built in protection to help your child/young person navigate the risks and pressures of adolescence. 
•  Set respectful boundaries without losing it with your child/young person! (And understand why you lose it - Clue - you are NOT a bad parent)!! 
•  Learn strategies that help your child/yp feel confident and close to you. 
•  Gain vital support for the incredible parenting work you do. 
•  Laugh more! Play more! Connect more! 
•  Get my child OFF their phone/games console Technology and teens - OMG!
•  Parent well together - how to work as a team to support your child/yp.  

Parenting can be tough, emotional work and this is as true in the teen years as it was when our children were little. Juggling busy work lives, the lure of technology and the reduced connection with other parents as our children move to secondary education, can take a toll on our relationships and support structures.   

Our children are growing and changing and the parenting tools you've used so far just might not be up to the task any longer.   

Our course will enable you to connect with other parents in a confidential, supported way and ensure you have the support networks you need for now and for the years ahead.  Each week you will learn one tool which you will then practice at home and report back your discoveries and insights the following week. 

If you commit to this, you will finish the course with a renewed sense of joy, optimism, confidence and energy for this exciting chapter in your child's life, with a set of tools that will see you all the way through to being a grandparent! 

An important component of the course is the opportunity to reflect on our own teen years. This can bring clarity to issues we are experiencing with our own teens. You will be sensitively and expertly guided in this process. Strict rules of confidentiality apply. 

You will be provided with a journal so you can make notes in between classes. 

This course isn’t for everyone, it’s for parents who are truly committed to live their best life and create the opportunity for the right environment for their child/ren to grow and thrive.
