ABSTRACT

This book, Promoting Positive Parenting of Teenagers, has been written to give people who work with families and young people a guide to the group programme called 'living with teenagers', developed by the staff of the Centre for Fun and Families. It is important, at the start of this guide, to offer a few definitions of the terms used throughout the book so that the reader can proceed with a common understanding of the language employed. The most important terms you will come across are 'living with teenagers groups', 'social learning theory' and the 'Centre for Fun and Families'. We will start with a brief description of each of these terms.
