As children move into adolescence, many parents notice changes at home.

A child who once shared everything may become quieter. Homework may take longer. Phone use may increase. Conversations may become shorter, more emotional, or more difficult.

At Qs School, we understand that teenage growth is not only about academic achievement. It is also about helping young people develop emotional regulation, resilience, communication skills and confidence.

That is why we are hosting a free online parent webinar focused on teenage emotional management and parent-child communication.

Webinar Details

Topic: Youth Emotional Management and Parent-Teen Communication

Date: Thursday, 4 June

Time: 7:00 pm – 8:15 pm

Format: Online seminar

Language: Chinese

Suitable for: Parents of upper primary and secondary students, especially Chinese-speaking families

What Will Be Discussed

In this webinar, Qs School Principal Kevin Guo will be joined by registered psychologists Joanna Zhu and Jenny Liao to discuss common challenges families may experience during adolescence, including:

Why teenagers may become less willing to communicate
How parents can respond to procrastination, phone use, distraction and anxiety
How peer pressure and social media may affect confidence and behaviour
How to build healthier parent-child communication
How emotional resilience supports long-term learning and growth

Research in social and emotional learning shows that students benefit when they develop skills such as self-management, emotional awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making. These skills are connected not only to wellbeing, but also to learning behaviours and academic outcomes.

The Australian Student Wellbeing Framework also highlights the importance of safety, belonging, inclusion and supportive relationships in helping students learn and thrive.

This webinar is designed to give parents practical, compassionate and research-informed strategies to better understand and support their teenagers.

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is suitable for parents who are noticing:

More emotional ups and downs at home
Reduced motivation or concentration
Increased screen time or online distraction
Communication difficulties with their child
Friendship stress or peer pressure
Anxiety around school, study or achievement

At Qs School, we believe that understanding is one of the most powerful forms of support. When parents understand what teenagers are experiencing emotionally and socially, they are better able to guide them with calm, confidence and care.
