i-parent modules


Our interactive activities contain information and support to help you and your teenager through the changes and challenges of the teenage years.

We currently have six modules for you to choose from covering topics including keeping your teen safe, and dealing with anger. Each module takes around 40 minutes to complete.

If you don't have that much time to spare, why not try out mini modules which take only 10 minutes? They are a great taster to the full modules

We're always looking for parents – or anyone with a teen in their life – to blog about what life is really like, day to day. If you'd like to share the ups and downs with other parents of teenagers, contact us for your own blog at community@gotateenager.org.uk.
