[Living with parents of adolescents: proposal for a course to facilitate the relationship].
The author describes an experience of a short term course for parents of adolescents and professionals, who deal with this age group. Participants were mothers of different professions: a principal of an elementary school, a pedagogic coordinator of an elementary and a high school, pedagogues, a student of pedagogy and students of phsyco pedagogy. The reasons for the choice presented by the participants centred in difficulties in the relationship between parents and their children and in the search for more satisfactory and functional forms of the parents--children dyad. The author made use of systemic referential about the adolescence and the phsyco dramatic methodology with the objective of making easier the understanding of the thematic in question. The course not only offered information about the aspects of adolescence, its repercussion in the family context, but also propitiated exchanges of opinions, sharing of doubts, odd feelings of insecurity faced with the task of being parents of adolescents allowing the construction of new ways for the parents to perceive, feel and express their friendship.
