i-parent modules and mini modules

These contain activities that have been designed to support you and your teenager through the changes and challenges of teen years.

Start by clicking on any module that interests you. Each one takes around 40 minutes to complete, but if you want to split the activities up, you can return to the module at a later date and all past information will be saved. If you just want to have a taster of these activities, why not try our mini modules? They only take 10 minutes and act as a great introduction to the full modules.

You will also need to have sound enabled on your machine, as well as Adobe Flash player installed (click here to download Flash Player).
