ADVICE when dealing with the challenges and pressures of raising a teenager will be on offer at a special event this summer.

On June 6, Bryanston School will host 21st Century Parenting – Inspired Thinking For The Modern Parent.

The event is designed to provide parents with the knowledge and practical advice they need to navigate the complexities of parenting in the modern age, according to a spokesperson and will feature a panel of experts in child psychology, mental health, social and technological influences, behavioural science, nutrition, and more.

It also aims to explode common misconceptions and equip parents with the tools they need to help their children thrive throughout their teenage years.

The school has partnered with The Wellbeing Hub from Teen Tips for the event and has secured involvement from a variety of experts from all over the UK.

From parenting experts Alicia Drummond and Dr Maryhan to sexism and gender equality specialists Michael Conroy and Natasha Eeles, attendees will have access to a wealth of knowledge on topics ranging from self-harm and gambling to drugs and bullying.

Dr Preetpal Bachra, deputy head of pupil development and wellbeing at Bryanston, said: “We’re thrilled to have secured the direct involvement of so many experts from so many fields as it will ensure the day covers all conceivable topics and sheds a much-needed light on even those very tricky areas that can be so difficult for a parent to talk about with their child.”

The 21st Century parenting event is being held prior to Bryanston’s 2023 Education Summit for educationalists and teaching professionals.

The summit aims to provide a day of inspirational talks and discussions on topical issues and education priorities for teachers and other educationalists from across southern England.
