My Family Coach: Arguments

Join our free parent/ carer online class run by our sister website, My Family Coach. This is an open event aimed at parents/carers but may also be useful for professionals supporting families.

The class theme is: Reducing Arguments and Building Stronger Communication

Do you find that every conversation with your child ends up as an argument? Or perhaps it doesn’t feel like they talk to you at all? 

We’ll explore how you can build stronger lines of communication with your child, ways to start conversations, and strategies you can use to encourage them to keep talking with you.

In this class, you will learn about:

• Why conversations can quickly turn to arguments and ways to reduce family conflict.
• How to encourage your child to talk with you and get conversations started.
• Ways to encourage your child to keep communicating with you about the things that matter most.

How to ask a question

Email your questions in advance to info@myfamilycoach.com. We try to answer as many questions as possible during each class, but the earlier you get your question in, the more likely they will be answered during the class.

What to expect?

The class will be hosted by one of our behaviour specialists. They will start the session with a short introduction to share their experience with you.

Then it’s time to talk about this theme and the questions we’ve received from you. Do remember to email these to us before the class. You’ll hear lots of practical and helpful ideas to help you at home.

At the end of the session, we will share useful resources from the My Family Coach website linked to this theme and tell you about our next events.
