A GROUP of west Wiltshire parents received certificates last week recognising their skills at coping with teenagers.

They completed a training course to lead sessions for other parents run by the Wiltshire Parenting Support Project alongside Advice on Services for Kids (ASK).

The courses support parents with difficult teenagers or those preparing to have a teenager around the house and how to cope with some of the conflicts that arise.

ASK manager Linda Cantillon said: "These are parents who did the teenager courses and now have qualified to lead them themselves.

"It is great when the parents who have done the courses can put their experience back in."
