Kaipātiki Parent Pack
For parents and caregivers of teenage children – with all the challenges, new experiences, pressures and temptations that involves.
We are pleased to present you with this latest edition of the “Parent Pack”. This resource is for parents or caregivers with children on the threshold of, or are currently at, secondary school – with all the challenges, new experiences, pressures and temptations that involves.
The “Parent Pack” was first developed in 1997 and has been a well respected resource each year since giving parents tools to help negotiate the teenage years, particularly the minefield of alcohol and drugs and the ever changing issues of their relationship with adolescent children.
Happy Parenting… the Kaipātiki Team
