When parents learn the critical skills of good communication, they are better prepared to help their young teens navigate the difficult transition from childhood to adolescence. Middle schoolers are pushing for independence, while their parents wonder how much independence is wise to give them. The tug of war that often follows can be eased, and often avoided, with good communication skills. Program teaches parents the fundamental skills for meaningful communications with pre-teens and young teens: Active Listening, "I" Messages, Compromise, Getting the Facts and Asking Questions, Reflecting Emotions, Respecting Boundaries, and Communication Blockers. Parents come to understand that by using these skills they not only assure effective communication at home, but through their example, their child will learn and take these skills out into the world. Parents also see how using these skills can help them establish a home climate of support and caring, concentrating on the big issues and stepping back when the child is able to function independently.
