REGISTER NOW for a web seminar on parental influence
Join us on December 13th, 2011 at 1:00pm for a 60-minute presentation on the influence of parents on adolescent risk behaviours.
This is a 60-minute webinar presentation on what research has found regarding the ways that parents influence their teens and how parents can best become positive influences. The purpose of this webinar is to share information from recent research that SMARTRISK has conducted on this topic and provide some initial thoughts on the key factors to consider when educating parents on how they can help their teens stay safe.
Specifically, the webinar will address:
• The misconception that parental monitoring is key to encouraging teens to avoid maladaptive risks. • The importance of parental knowledge as a way to increase the amount of influence over teens’ behaviour. • Parental variables that are key to increasing parental knowledge. • Parents as role models of which behaviours are acceptable. • Parental safety behaviours will predict their teens’ safety behaviours. • Important factors to consider when engaging parents. • A question and answer period, along with a discussion session will be held at the end of the webinar.
The webinar is free of charge and will be delivered online via teleconference to all participants. There are a limited number of spaces available so please REGISTER ONLINE.
Following registration, a confirmation email will provide you with a link to join the webinar on December 13th. After joining, you will receive an audio PIN to attend the teleconference portion of the seminar.
We hope that you can join us as we share current information on the influence that parents have on their teen’s safety and risk behaviours!
